1 edit | Why AOL BYOA? Free spam addresses! Trust me I would never reinstall their crap software on my pc ever again! But TWC gives it free with Roadrunner so free spam addresses to direct spammers to? Does not hurt one bit. It is sad though that is all AOL is worth and some are paying $26 for dial up! MSN is ok because it runs on the standard TCP/IP stack and you do not have to use their software when say running a game and their connection is far more stable than AOL. Just set up this formula on a manual connection to connect without software username will be MSN/your master username and then password is the same as if using the software 
Edit: Actually I used this tweak even with the software then I could sign out anytime and still stay connected. As well as apply modem tweaks for reliability and full 56k connection that only work on manual connections. Just tell the software you already are connected and set it to use the one you set up. My wife still keeps MSN as a backup because she likes $17.95+the content being accessable through broadband with a totally seperate from ISP backup to broadband. So I know it still works on MSN 9. |
