internet access

good luck with the free dial-up services and linux. I tried them last summer
after the blackout, thinking that if we ever lost power for an extended
amount of time and my isp went out because they're too stupid to get ups's
and I was on the generator here I could dial in to an isp. But it turns out
that most require a special dialer so they can display adds and spy on you.
with address.com's service I did get as far as getting an ip via dhcp but
that's it.
