Nothing has come across the FreeNET list about Juno buying out Freewwweb yet. There
was some speculation but nothing else. The reason for the speculation is because
Worldspy (a bannerless ISP that was pretty good on Win98) just either sold out to Juno
or folded and referred their whole clientle to Juno (nobody really knows which).
1Nol is still in operation but in order to use it without their software, you have to
do some workarounds. The main thing is you must enter you username as username@1nol
(no .com or anything and of course, put in your username for username) and
yourpassword+xms for the password (no +, just add xms to the end of your password). I
haven't had a chance to try it with Arachne yet (they took away my local number), but
it should work I think.
