Actually, freewwweb does not require I.E. to be running like other
free services.
Somewhere on their site is a section where you can specify no browser
or some such. As a result it's ideal for Linux and I suppose DOS
(one company has partnered up with freewwweb and announced a free ISP
for Linux page - I believe it gives info on setting up manually).
Freewwweb can be setup like other ISPs once you get the necessary
info like DNS numbers and all that.
I might try it out, too, as the account I have now is borrowed
and my friend may move to DSL soon, cancelling this account.

Oh okay, found the message I saved before. If nothing else it might
give some info on how to get set up or use that might apply to DOS.
These are the guys freewwweb partnered up with.
