Actually, that's NOT quite true.
I did try for about 3 hours today. The cost isn't a real factor.
The problem is that for the initial sign-up, it REQUIRES a modem. there is
NO way around this. I even called their technical support about this. :/
I do not have a modem. I connect thru a LAN, as I use a cable modem. the
only modem I have, uses an Ethernet card.( and it is connected to my Linux
box, not a Win95 machine.)
