I guess it just depends on who you speak to but I got the impression they are only
after windows users .. this was the result of an inquiry I placed with them about
3 months ago .

They had NO unix or atari support newsgroups (like demon) , you could only sign up with
there dial software which would cost you 50 quid as inclusive of the sign up fee.

When I asked if that was wavered I was told no and also the windows software was not
quite ready yet . I insisted I didn't want to use windows and wanted to us a unix
connection . The bizzarre reply from the pleasant enough lady was 

"we dont do unix " <G>
