I agree with that. I am using Bellatlantic.net because I don't have
a credit card and, sad but true, don't have the cash to pay for a year
in advance. Otherwise I would rather give my business to a smaller
company. My point is that BAnet will only give technical support for
the version of Netscape they currently support and only when it's
running under Windows. It would be nice if I could call technical
support and chat about Linux, but that is really a very small concern
when compared to the fact that I "never" get busy signals, always get
fast connects, and in this first year I have been a subscriber they
have been up 24/7 every day (except for a few very brief stops on
e-mail).
