Re: [PLUG] Re: freeisp for linux


Speaking of DSL, has anyone heard anything about www.freedsl.com?  (Not
the same as freexdsl.)  Looks like they offer both free dial-up and free
dsl (in selected areas.)  It takes a bunch of reading on their site to
figure out that they don't support free dsl everywhere...  And they
don't seem to be willing to say if they have dsl in your area until
after you sign up.  Oh, and they want personal information, but claim
they will only use it in 'aggregate' when supplying it to advertisers.
