Wrong. Support is one thing, but support has nothing to do with possibility.

I haven't yet read anything here that would prevent a pre-8.1 Mac from
connecting to an ISP. Any ISP. Did I miss something about proprietary
software needed that was somehow 8.1 only?

BellSouth (live tech help) likes to send Mac users to a "new site" that
presumably has all sorts of juicy FAQs. The page needs a cookie, which is
not available for Macs. The page spits out a message (if you're lucky)
stating that the browser is out of date, when it isn't.

Earthlink, perhaps because of the old Mindspring infusion still has one of
the best online Mac help sections of any ISP I've seen. Links to shareware
and sites about your Extensions, screen shots of how to set up your control
panels too. Right now, Scott is cringing because he knows the majority of
that stuff is circa 7.5/7.6 ... Got any influence over that, Scott?
