I tried freewwweb (on windows box) and could not log in as some others
here. I found that it reconfigured netscape to use their home page (ok),
but it also inserted their pop and smtp infor,information so that you
cannot change in preferences. (not ok) Also infected all netscape
browser users in (windows). How do you set any of these free isp's up on
linux? This one did not appear to support linux, so I deleted netscape,
and downloaded new version to get back to normal.
