I signed up for netscape, becauase hey, it's 1 month free trial anyway. So technically, I'm an AOL luser now *hangs head in shame* :-/ (after logging into the POP, you end up on AOL). The good thing is, I can use the vanilla windows DUN with MS CHAP authentication, so after I get freebsd setup, I'm gonna try configuring ppp. Currently POP login name obfuscation is: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" where username is the one you are given when you setup the account (typically nsJohnDoe). The password is not obfuscated.
