Free ISPs all gone?

Luriden · Post by **Luriden** » Sat Nov 13, 2004 5:37 pm

I just got a new Dreamcast in the mail yesterday (my old one died last July) and was excited to get back online with PSO. I take an hour out of my day today to string a phone cord extension across the house to my Dreamcast in my room, and I try all the ISPs on Fackue's Consolevision page only to find that none are working for me. Are all the free ISPs for Dreamcast officially dead now or are there some I'm not aware of that Fackue has yet to update?

hmmm wish i could help you out. I been hearing this quite a lot recently. If u have DSL u might wanna check out and see if it comes with "backup dialup". I know SBC global does. in case the DSL goes down you can use the dialup software. I'll look into it.

everyone knows im the PSO junky here, and ill do what i can to get you online. heck i used to be sharing a dialup account i created just for Dreamcast with quite a few people from here.

I have a friend looking for a free dial up service. HE uses the internet about 5 to 10 hours a month, so any free dial up would work for him. He does care if he has to fill his PC with ad-ware to get it as long as its free.

magma offers 10 hours a month of free dial up of you have their dsl package. After that it's $1 an hour.

call up your isp and find out. And hurry up...it's getting lonely in ragol these days...

peace,

Kingbuzzo.

Netzero offers free internet, about 10 hours/month I believe. There really isn't adware or any crap like that, only Netzero trying to get you to upgrade to premium or high speed.

search fackue's forum. There was a guy who posted his site with a bunch of "free" isp logins.

yeah, a bunch of em died. i had to recently resort to MSN. thankfully MSN has a pretty easy way of using DUN instead of msn explorer.

Netzero is my primary ISP but I haven't had my DC long enough to try it.

Has anyone tried these ISP's?

Megatron, that really is not a viable solution imo. not enough access #'s.

coke, you can use Netzero with your DC, but you need to run the username and password through the converter on fackues site to get the DUN equivalents.

and many of the isps listed on that page are either dead or non-surfable (dials up fine but no web access)

Umm, you guys can try getting a new netzero and a juno one. Then switch them with the converter. Make sure the password and login name are small, like 4-6 letters, or the minimum amount allowed. I had a small problem with this, but am now using a bba so I am fine.

BBA's RULE!

This was the ISP I used from spring 2002- summer 2004. They disappeared but now they're back.

Sorry, I no longer have a phone line. It'll be harder to update the free ISP page, but I'll to the best I can.

no phone line? Are you in space or something?

Sorry, double post.

I'm getting a cell phone. $50 a month for a phone line is high. Especally when there's Vonage.

If I can get someone to be a personal helper for my site, I can get the ISP page updated quicker than what I'm working with now.

If someone wants to help drop me a PM.

Sorry for the double-post.
