I personally really like Earthlink. They recently added 7 extra email boxes to their standard setup (I can't think of half that many email addresses). You also get 10MB webspace on their servers for websites. They offer WebMail (http://webmail.earthlink.net) as a free extra, along with Spaminator, which is basically a mail filter, but on THEIR computers, meaning you don't have to download the message to delete it. They also offer Windows goodies like a personal firewall, I believe. They list (and advertise) privacy and anonmity as their Number One concern, and it's visible. I have yet to get a single spam message ever since hooking up over 8 months ago. You also get goodies like the ability to set up an AWAY message. Works without fail using wvdial, automatic DNS and all. When you sign up, you get emailed everything you need: CONFIGURATION SETTINGS: username : noodlez84 password : **** email address : noodlez84@earthlink.net Modem phone number: ***-***-**** login username: ELN/noodlez84 protocol: PPP IP address: dynamically assigned DNS address: 207.217.77.82 207.217.120.83 Mail POP server: mail.earthlink.net SMTP server: mail.earthlink.net NEWS server: news.earthlink.net Email is very speedy, and so is FTP access. AFAIK, they run free of MS software. Netscape-Enterprise on Solaris for earthlink.net and Apache on Solaris on home.earthlink.net . And no, I do not work for Earthlink. I'm just a satisfied customer.

AT&T is not bad. It handles Linux hookups quite well. They have a support page for Kppp at http://www.wurd.com, which is some indication of their support for Linux users.
