Re: Pseudo-ISPs

[Bacchaus Anew]

AOL, CompuServe, and MSN are the only pseduo-ISPs I know of.  Earthlink is
not, however they do provide proprietary software, which is essentially
wizards and front-ends to configuring your internet settings.  Any software
that assigns you an IP address (as AOL, CompuServe, and MSN do) can be used
with any TCP/IP software.  I believe that you can even use AOL to connect
under Win9x, and in a DOS-box, run Arachne.  Hope that helps clear up a
little confusion.
