Thread,
Found this site for supposedly free internet access. Haven't tried it yet (have to dig out my analog modem) but from where I live, Palos Verdes, California, there are about 30 LOCAL phone numbers available to me. Haven't sorted out what impact will be on ATHM, should be a positive one for ATHM lack of portability. What would be the impact on AOL and other ISP? Go figure if this baby can deliver. Anybody has any experience on this one?
