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.

I just found the www site a few minutes before reading your post.  I
did place another order via the web.  Also found another outstanding
site which goes into great detail on how to setup W95's explorer
(DUN), Netscape, etc. once you have used Worldnet's software to
setup your account: www.mindspring.com/~ekelley/win95/win95.htm

Are you able to tell me if you need Worldnet's software for the
account/password coding (like AOL's) or is it one-time for account
creation.  I'm trying to figure out if I can grab someone else's
disc or CD-ROM and use it for the account creation and then move on
to Explorer or Netscape.  I don't want to wait another month...

Got it bout two weeks after I sucribed.  It is a good plan.  Has unlimited 
time for $20 bucks but if you mess around with it.  It will never work the 
same again.  I tried to install netscape and now I can't even log on the 
same way.  Any time I try to download something.  It starts telling me I 
don't have a DNS server.  Even the technical support line has no idea 
what is going on.  It is a good deal but don't play around with it or it 
will never work right again.  If you got any ideas on how you think it 
might work right E-mail me at Moe@worldnet.att.net

AT&T WorldNet Tech services is @ 1-800-400-1447

I was a BETA test site for them last year

and a happy user this year

Although..........There ARE a variety of growing pains,

Less than $1.00 a day for unlimited access is great
