Good news for us Arachneans, 1 NationOnline works fine with Arachne.
The dialup number here in town will not let me logon to the network,
but another local number in the larger nearby city works fine,
though I only connected at 28.8k, and my modem is 33.6k. I get 33.6
connections on FreeWWWeb with the same local number I can't connect
to 1NOL on. You have to use the same logon ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
tactic as FreeWWWeb to connect. They are probably renting the same
nationwide dialup network (UUNET) as FreeWWWeb. I have used PAP/CHAP
and terminal login and either works. I contacted their free dialup
tech support trying to get Netscape/IE to connect and the only thing
they could recommend was to "upgrade" to W9x. One good note is that
I was on hold for less than a minute before my call was answered.
Curiously, Netscape seemed to have some problems with their 1NOL
pages, indicating that the page was downloaded, but displaying
nothing on the screen. Arachne worked fine, except for the secure
pages and there is some Javascript on the page where you configure
your mailbox. They have web access to your email there also, a nice
feature I think. I have not tried POP3/SMTP. There is also a news
server, something FreeWWWeb does not offer.
