   I don't know any of the numbers; I haven't used dialup for twenty years.   
   But call their support line, they will know.  The people on their support   
   line actually know about their service.

   Perhaps, but if you're using remote dialup, it might pay.  Still, if you   
   are paying more than two cents a minute within the US you mgith consider   
   a different long distance provider.
