Hello Wayne - 

WC>>>>>> Cheap ADSL has arrived here and soon as I slap the
WC>>>>>> hard drive in this sucker I'm going DSL. 

-->>>>> Hope you're happy with msn as an ISP... :-0 

CA>>>> You've lost me. How does MSN become a part of ADSL in
CA>>>> Florida? 

CA>>>> And ... why would having Microsoft as an ISP be a 'bad
CA>>>> thing'? 

WC> MSN is part of Verizon's deal here in Florida and offered
WC> as a _perk_. For myself I'd never hit their home page nor
WC> use any proprietary software they might require. 

I think of an ISP as offering me access to their hardware for X
amount of dollars. I've never used an ISP's homepage, I use
Google.com as my homepage. 

As for the proprietary software - if a person is using Windows
(any version) you've already installed the bulk of their
proprietary software minus a few updates they may or may not
try to push on you. :-)
