Hi Kali;

Dear List:
I think the issue of compatibility may be more of an issue in the
future than even whether or not the ISP is free. Lord knows, those of
us who don't have a lot or make a lot of money would like free ISP's.

Hello all-
I need to start keeping a log of what I do to make something work. My

Despite people thinking otherwise, I happen to believe that there are a
number of people out there using dozerware who would be glad to find
Arachne.
