I'm not sure where your located in zone 1. In Vancouver, I use Paralynx (used
to be Mindlink) and they had a few poeple on staff that actually knew how to
setup OS/2.

I'm a little confused about this at&t -> ibm.net changeover. How does the fial 
up account know which dialer you are using and why would it care? As long as
your dialer can send your username and password when needed and negociate a
tcpip protocol what difference does it make?
