Ordered the software about the same time you did. Ordered it again
about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Got it about a week and a half ago. I have
no idea which order it came from, as I've only got one package so
far. I'd suggest trying to call again and/or ordering it
through their www site (www.worldnet.att.net or www.att.com).

Works fine in windows. You can use your own internet software to
connect
if it supports CHAP authentication. Works fine from the OS/2 PPP
software. The service is fast, no busy signals, and I've already
dumped
my other two ISP's that I used before, so I could have reliable
service.

As always, your mileage may vary.
