Neither does anyone else on earth, far as I know, so what?

I was an AT&T net customer, my brother still is.  I used both the OS/2 dialer
and later the Injoy dialer.  I'm now a BellAtlantic.net customer, and like
everyone, they support whatever you have, as long as it's WIN.  What I did,
and most people do, is install their crap software in WIN95, then get all the
parameters you need and stick them in injoy or the dialer.  There is nothing
secret about connecting to an ISP, and just because the brain-dead guys
"supporting" WIN almost immediately hang up on you if you mention OS/2, it is
just not all that hard, and I'm amazed they try to make it that hard.

AT&T and Bell Atlantic were/are very nice ISP's far as I'm concerened.  I
never ever once got a busy signal, and certainly you can go anywhere you want
on the net, no restrictions that I know of.  I pay around $20 a month, little
less I think for unlimited ($150/mo) service.   I switched to Bell solely
because they had a local mumber.  Bottom line is you have to ignore everything 
they say about OS/2, they are all ignorant, including IBM.
