Lou D, thanks for your verification! I have known several so called free internet access, such as freewwweb.com, zdial.com, freeppp.com, netzero.com, and xoom.com but none of them provide a local number that I can use, none of them actually *give* away without pre-conditions. MSFT is still in ANTI-Trust case with DOJ, I have very strong doubt that MSFT will do a forever free internet access at this sensitive time even though they want to. The core of the anti-trust case is that MSFT uses the window operating to push and to force others to adopt the standards they set and IE browser is in the core of that argument. Unless MSFT gives away the internet access but using NSCP's browser which is going to be AOL's browser after 3/17/99, then I'll say MSFT has class.
