I was using freewwweb.com for a short stint.  Configuration was easy, I
signed up on their web site (http://www.freewwweb.com), ran pppconfig,
entered the right settings, and off I went.  I never had any problems
with it, except for the occasional busy signals.  I've since went back
to a local ISP for various reasons, but I still have the settings here
in case I need it again.

HTH,

I'm using Freewwweb successfully.  It's quite busy but it works very well. 
Zero banner programs!  They just want you to set your home page to
home.freewwweb.com which is quite nice.  I even used it on my mac plus!

freewwweb is linux-friendly.  No advertising bars onscreen.  Only
catch is they ask you to use their page as your Netscape startup.
Oh, and you've got to use the account more than 8hrs/month or something.

The minumum use thing is going to get me killed.  I've got the
account to back up cable because it's been so flakey but I haven't
had to use it much.

Does anybody know how to connect to the free ISP-s from Debian boxes? I
want to drop my AT&T account, but I am not sure that it will work, since
most of the free ISP say in their requirements windows. I have been
considering BlueLight (yahoo). Any ideas?
Thanks,
Antonio.
