You'll need the 56K modem for it. I use it as my regular provider with good speed most of the time. Netzero has pop email, but the best free "permenent" email addresses are at mail.com, and email.com. You can set these to read the mail at the box, or forward it to antoher box for reading. I use iname.com which has just been taken over by mail.com. -- tomjanis@my-Deja.com http://homepages.go.com/~tomjanis/ http://homepages.go.com/~aviontravelcade/ Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/
