Hi Jerry
I've been using Freei.net [with a banner] and am very interested
in the
worldspy.net 'bannerless' dialup service.
Could you please tell us what you had to do to setup
your linux box to access worldspy.net ?
Given that worldspy has a large software package to download
for the Win-95 system... and apparently doesn't for Linux...
I am wondering how to accomplish a connection with them?
I am using RH 6.1.
Many thanks in advance.
