Jacalyn - Hockey fan, too, eh! Wow - what a great game and fantastic finish last night, if you are a Colorado fan... I have a friend in Dallas, runs a jewelry biz located in the trade towers, and has season tics for the Stars. He's become a big fan obviously. And my son, University of Colorado, along with my brother who lives out there near Denver, are big Colorado fans! I'm just watching as an interested bystander with mixed emotions! I've been interested and involved in hockey since the mid seventies, and now my son's a player at the school and a paid referee! Should be some exciting hockey left! enjoy, Darrol

Jacalyn, I thought this posting from the ESI BB in the UK might make you and your fellow investors laugh or at least smile. As you can see not all free isp s are doing such a good job. Regards Jonathan BB: Fed up with Freeserve..

It's been a nightmare connecting for about a month I connect only around 10% of the time first time and when I do the servers are painfully slow. All this on top of the recent email server problems are just too much for me regardless of the fact it is free. There are much better free service providers out there. Date: Fri May 28 23:48:20 1999 GMT/BST From: lofty >>>>>>>>> PW. Had exactly the same problems as you! Check these items That you are not driving your modem too fast.Example. 28k (say) set at 56k or more. Check with phone co that you do not have call barring or call waiting. ( corrupts signal out and in) Make sure your modem WILL work at the speed it says on the box. Whoever you sign up with, these problems will still exist. lofty Date: Sat May 29 0:26:29 1999 GMT/BST From: Lom hswt- Had a crap few days connection-wise. It was going so well too.

Surely you don't expect an A1 service if it's free. Maybe in the future, more important is much lower tel charges which I'm sure will come soon. I'm happy paying my £100 a year with globalnet after all what's is the cost over a year peanuts really. We can all lose this in a second on the markets anyway! PM in Bangkok Date: Sat May 29 10:19:07 1999 GMT/BST From: billy3 >> PM If tescos are offering "buy one get one free" then it's not OK that the second free item is sub standard. Advertisers are paying good money to freeserve on the basis that we use it. I got so fed up with it I use another free ISP - callnet - it only takes a few minutes to load after going to their web site. i think it's callnetuk.com. Not evryone wants to pay £100 a year. Because we are britsh we accept crap, the americans expect quality service - look at mytrac - they keep asking customers what they want and their basic service is free. Date: Sat May 29 11:08:33 1999 GMT/BST From: Ginger_bomber Has anyone connected up to Tempo?? Date: Sat May 29 14:24:29 1999 GMT/BST From: Lom hswt- Thinking of signing up to Barclays.net. More for bank account convenience than for the freebee offered. The charges list they show 4p per minute at peak times - is this the going rate or is this cheaper than normal?. Then they have CLI, which I am a bit wary of, seems to be like a way of monitoring who you make calls to, is that correct?. They say they have teamed up with BT, is that the same as BT ISP or just BT providing the lines (as they do everyone else?). Anyone out there have experience of Barclays.net?.

Jacalyn: Toronto's chances of getting into the finals of the NHL against Dallas or Colorado is like a snow ball in hell. It was Toronto's goal tender that's got them this far. He might be able to do the job but he has no protection from the Maple Leaf defense. I'm rooting for Dallas and it's great to see how hockey has taken off in Texas. Dallas is a very skilled team but on the Colorado team there are four players - once they move onto the ice their personality changes and they could put Dallas' top players out of commission in a heart beat if the opportunity presented itself. Colorado made a great move in picking up Fleury from Calgary. He could be a key to the Stanley Cup. Let's hope the Stars pull it off through, it will be a great boost for hockey in Texas.!!!
