Free ISP W/O Annoying Ads (Worldspy.com)
Here is a new (11-23-99) free ISP with plenty of local access numbers in the USA. It appears they use the MicroAv.com network of telephone numbers. If no ads, maybe you will get a full screen to view.
Their claim to fame is "NO ANNOYING ADS". I downloaded the software today, but did not install it yet. They support it by having their webpage come up first and no ads. Go to http://www.worldspy.com . Good Luck!!

Hey........this thing really works. I have it running now on a Sony PII 300 laptop and it is coming through loud and clear as I write this message. Just as advertised.
It said "I was one of the first to connect". Connects slightly slow, but through-puts are 5-6 kbytes/sec, quite respectable for a 33k modem

Yes, thanks Mister Nice, it is because it is actually provided through alta vista's micro portal!
To just clarify, that's why they use the microav numbers!
