Yes, I have to use software supplied by my ISP in order to 
connect. I guess I have to view the ads all the time, I haven't tried. The
good thing is that the ISP makes you download a small installer, which
when executed on your computer dials up to the ISP and downloads the rest
of the software. There were no ads being displayed while the ISP software
was downloaded, and the connection was great. I hope I can use this
connection...

Yes, I can also try at http://www.download.com, but I don't know 
what to search for. I've tried for "modem monitor" and such things 
with bad results. Does anyone know of a specific utility?

You're right, it offers no logging. It does use, however, a DUN 
account. Then I guess it must authenticate to the server, or anyone 
would be able to use their connection...
