HI Philip: thanx a bunch for the info..looks like ther was a lot I
didn't know..but the chicher was them to furnish internet service,
ha..at best that's a proxy service..AOL is a proxy..and not a real
ISP..and they are losing their butt..they get the nubies, for a
little while..and do more harm than good..some people who hook into
AOL..think what !..this is what all the noise is about..and never
come back to see what a real ISP does..heck I get unlimited hours
disk space for a home page, mail , news , ppp, and a
shell account to play with unix..all for 19.95 a month..and I'v
heard of some prices lower than that..I also maintaine an account
at the local collage..I use it for mail mostly..and as a back up,
sometimes modems can be busy,,but also it gives me two different
up links into the backbone, if bandwith gets crowded on one uplink , and things slow down, I can go to the other one..in time all the
Proxy servers will be history, they are jus to slow to begin with.
