does NetZero use "normal" methods or is it proprietary?  i know a lot of
people that use it, but i've never really heard/looked...  personally,
also being an admin, i would agree that you get what you pay for, and
would definately have to suggest my fav provider: SouthWind! : ^ )  (yeah,
i know, i work for a different one...  shhh! : ^ )

<sarcasm>ooo... i want a packard bell</sarcasm> ... actually, i have one
sitting right next to me that i wanted to play w/ FreeBSD on, but i've
given that up and turned it into a paperweight / computer-junkyard!
hopefully once i get my parent's old gateway (not much better), i can
finally use it! : ^ )
