Hi Derek.

I don't want to promote specific modem makes, as each have their merits.
I suggest you get a copy of AmigaActive magazine and have a read through the adverts.

Also visit http://www.vapor.com for the excellent NetConnect package 3 for the Amiga.

As for free internet access, I personally use 2 ISP.

http://www.screaming.net
They provide free evening (6pm-8am) access and all weekend, no monthly charge and no
phone call charge either (0845 access but they pay, you don't)

http://www.redhotant.com
Free 24/7 access. cost is one of 3 options: �10,�20 or �30 a year fee plus a one-off �30
joining fee. no call charges are made at anytime of the day.

Hope this information helps you.
