Hi RTev, Not to put too fine a point on it but How about Network Gateway Provider? simply will not do. Why? Because to most serious netheads, a gateway = a router. And as we know this is not the thrust of AOLs business plan. AOLs 'proprietary gateway' acts in every way imaginable as a contradiction of a true gateway. In stead of enabling a node on one network to communicate freely with any other node on the Internet, AOLs gateway acts as a collar, a filter, a restrictor and a limiter on the access of any one user. To my way of thinking, about as far from a true gateway as one could possibly get. JMHO, Ray
