How does your account at mindspring compare against the speed and
accessiblity you have at your edu account? I have an edu account as
well and am wondering if a pay service would be better. Right now I
have only 45 min at a time (have to call back over and over) and am
forced to use twinsocks as a pseudo slip connection...
