Not sure how my post made it onto debian-devel, but cross-posting anyway.
Here's the important stuff from the thing worldshare.net sent me.
Apparently the site now says they don't do Linux, but I use it all the time,
it's just a normal ppp connection.

I'd love to get a linux howto thingy from you. Enough others might
be
interested to make it worth posting to the debian-devel list (where
I
saw your post). Thanks.

I just want to know your DNS and other pertinent settings. What are they?
There's certain basic information that anyone would need to know in order to
successfully set up dialup and e-mail configurations for a WorldShare
account.
Connection settings:
* Login ID: i.wshr.YourID (where YourID is replaced with your
WorldShare User ID)
* Password: Entered as selected during registration...passwords are
case sensitive!
* Dialup Number: Get this from www.worldshare.com/phonelist.htm
<http://www.worldshare.com/phonelist.htm>
* Primary DNS: 12.127.17.72
* Secondary DNS: 12.127.16.68
E-mail settings:
* E-mail Login: YourID (where YourID is replaced with your WorldShare
User ID. NOTE that you use just the User ID for e-mail login)
* E-mail Password: Entered as selected during registration...passwords
are case sensitive!
* E-mail Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
(where YourID is, again, replaced with your WorldShare User ID)
* Incoming Server (POP3): mail.worldshare.net
* Outgoing Server (SMTP): smtp.worldshare.net
