is freenet any good since its free for within 200 minutes.

i doh use much anyway and since zfree has closed down.

I use clear net email only. I can use someone else's smtp server and download clear email twice a month or so ..

49109 2002-05-16 01:54:00 I use Free.Net as a dial-up backup to Jetstream, and when on the road. I always get a first time connection and speed is good though not exceptional. I paid the initial fee of $14.95 when they changed from a totally free service and haven't used 200 minutes in any month since.

If you download quickly or don't get much mail you can afford to check two or three times a week (just in case somebody wants to send you heaps of money but there's a deadline for answering!!).

Cheers

49111 2002-05-16 12:43:00 A word of warning about Freenet, though (assuming they haven't changed their policy). If you have eg a family situation where various members hold their own accounts (for e-mail privacy, say), all using the same phone number, if just one person goes over 200 minutes EVERY ACCOUNT ON THAT NUMBER will be billed for the over-run. Multiple accounts on the same number should be legit because only one person can use the line at a time. Guest (0)
