The ticket is to get a bogus account set up under Win98, then run RASSpy or a logging program to get the user/password strings (which are usually encrypted or modified by their software) required for a straight logon, then just configure a standard call-up profile with this info in whatever program you're using, then throw away all the FISP's software. Works for any platform or O/S. Instant raw ISP! Naturally, you get rid of all their ads, timeouts, spyware and other crap in the bargain. Some FISPs have gotten wise to this hack and have blocked logging in their DUN profiles or made it impossible to run RASSpy, but at least 2/3 are still hackable using this workaround. NetZero, which is otherwise pretty high-quality access, has made this impossible in v.3, but if you can get an earlier version of the software you can run the hack and use the info for a clean login. Juno, Freei, Bluelight and a whole bunch more are currently easy to do this with. I get faster connects with NetZero and NZ is less congested than the other FISPs I've tried, but this may vary from user to user. Good luck!

Works, but sometimes I can't get the server. I signed up for freewwweb in Linux (RH 6.2) using the choice for those that have a browser. Works just fine. You might want to stop by http://www.teledyn.com/products/FreeWWW/ before going to freewwweb. Craig

Re freewwweb.com: if your local connect goes through an NT server, it may use MS-CHAP authentication, which pppd may not be ready to handle. Under this scheme, the ISP sends a string (different each logon) which, under Windows DUN, is encrypted using the password as a key. The ISP receives this, decodes it with the correct password, and verifies that the result matches the string it sent out. This is done to avoid sending passwords in the clear. It may require installing the DES library and recompiling pppd.....I am in process of doing that now--- and figuring out what config-file changes will be needed...As it is, I connect just fine, but am shortly disconnected, as ppd tries to use an unencrypted p'word.....
