Hi Guys:
Just wanted to add my two cents. I had problems with freewwweb, too. Went
looking and found over a dozen free ISP's. Checked them all, most had an ad
banner requirement. However, worldspy.net doesn't, just requires loading their
home page on startup. Once you surf to another site/page you have nothing on
screen but the page you're at. I've got it working in (ugh) Win95 and Linux.
This is not an endorsement but a helpful hint.
Have fun!
