What do you mean, ``no domain''? If NTT does not provide domain registra-
tion service, you can get it elsewhere. Or you can get a free 2nd level domain
name from something like dhs.org. My home system is snl.dhs.org. The problem
with this is that, even if you get a 2nd level domain name from dhs.org, your
ISP (or some other entity?) has to put an MX record in their DNS tables so mail
to your domain is delivered properly. (The details of this are a bit fuzzy to
me. Can you run your own DNS server with the proper MX record?)
