I signed up with IDT and what a mistake! The local access number was wrong
(and usually busy), there was NO trouble-shooting guide, the install
directions were WRONG and confusing, tech support did NOT answer e-mail,
and after 45 minutes LONG DISTANCE to Northern New Jersey (no BaltoWash
number), I gave up waiting (there was never an option to talk to a live
human being). I cancelled but I'm still out the $40 for the first month's
service, which I never got to use. (Not to mention the long distance
bills.)

The sleazoids are still running ads in the Baltimore Sun, which says they
will run the ads until the Atty. General's office tells them not to.
Please stay away from IDT. I'm not that crazy about AOL, but at least they
aren't crooks! --Eva Whitley
