It's *not* M$. They have no dial-up equipment scattered throughout the US, Canada, and the rest of the world. They buy it from UUNet, for one. There's likely others... As others have said, it's perfectly possible to connect via MSN with non-MS software/operating systems. Now getting e-mail might be another story... ;-) Hall
