They might at least start to think about it. I have attached a > possible template. Comments welcome! [...] This still leaves the problem of how people connect initially - e.g. to create their "free" accounts in the first place. Putting the instructions on the web means that they have to have an ISP connection in the first place... Basically the instructions need to be made available *before* the initial connect. To solve that, those instructions (and/or packages) should really be on the CD's that the ISPs ship out [I'll avoid AOL in my thinking for now...]. -- Karl E.
