I can recommend tezcat, particularly for a new user. The relevant #'s are 850-0181( voice ) and 850-0112 ( data ) if you just want to post them your info. The thing I like about them thus far is they are very helpful and patient. No long waits on hold when you need tech support and their hours are user friendly as well. I have yet to encounter anyone there who is just too damn clever to be talking to a new user either, unlike certain OTHER providers in town. In all likelihood though you will have to shop around and may end up with a different ISP than you started with, very common but still better than being raped by aol. Tim Decker
