Over here in the UK we have Free ISPs where you just sign up for no cost. I
use three of these in addition to my paid-for provider Voss Net. Do you have
any such thing whereever you are? (It's impossible to tell where an AOL user
is from, damnit!) If so you can sign up to them, use the EMail and News
servers that they give you and then use Outlook Express or similar to read
your email while dialled into AOL... I have five email addresses other than
the one I publicise, and I only pay for one... it's a very nice option to
have.
