FreeServe is completely free, and it's quite fast.

No adverts whatsoever. All you get is Outlook Express, IE4, and a Dial-Up
Networking connection with your name and password. No catch or nothing!!

BE WARNED - - they have very strict rules on sending unsolicited mail and
stuff like that. I'm on my second account now, and that's only because I
mailbombed some kid...

PS. Pop into your local Dixons / Currys / PC World store to get a copy.
www.freeserve.net for more information!

|Hi Richard,
|
|I am interested in the free internet access "Free Serve" as we do not
|have such service locally.  Is this free service supported by
|advertisements?  Does it make the user very annoying in the inserted
|advertisements or similar to Yahoos?
|
|Thanks,
|
