We started with me and two other guys two years ago. We had about $50 bucks between us when we started
good

We got the Hotmail address at the beginning because ta da!! it's FREE!!
Thats right ANYONE can get one..
we've grown into a small consulting firm
This is a great success story.. But my problem here is that your firm has internet access? so you will have a regular payment to a ISP.. now many (that I know of) ISPs provide atleast 1 FREE email account with their Access Plan (or what ever it is called in your area of the world).. so surly your firm is large enough to be able to spring for an ISP account.. If you have not done this well your firms growth is already retarded..
And your ONLY NOW thinking of a website.. ****.. like hotmail.. there are plenty of FREE Hosting services around.. you should have had some sort of site up 18months ago..

looking for people to write security related papers for inclusion with it's new security software collection's classroom feature
Too wide a scope.. you come to us for assistance.. but your request is thin, too little information..
My thought is AFTER you submit your Resumë, and an offical business plan, and a physical address for your firm and its partners/directors, also business registration information. and A tax office/IRS registration or proof of business activity from said department.

mate we don't know you from Jack Shite.. we have had bull **** artists come and go.. and they atleast bother to entertain us with a minimum of 30 line BS story..

BTW what did happen to that Mr Brown with the "NEw Safer InterNet" that he needed us to code sofware for.. he was going to give me a ring when he got out to Aus... I hope I didn't put him off with the directions.. suppose he couldn't convert "Flagons" and "stubbies" to Miles or KM's
