trader, that sounds odd as signing up to their net network would seem to be so easy... i feel real bad that you went with aohell b/c of their ease to sign up. their connections are slow and they, imho, are annoying with all their adds. in any case, they got you on so what the heck. good luck, askeets... psssst, i don't like muei or cpq any better than gtw as an investment ;-)
