Just so you know, the caps lock key is just to the left of the A.

All free isps have restrictions. http://netzero.com is the only other one I know of off the top of my head. Last year I could have named a lot, but they've all stopped their services.

No restrictions...get a paid ISP. Free ISp have restrictions. They also display banners and popups. If not where do they gain income???

Netzero is the only other one I know of. They offer 40 hours but you have a big banner at the bottom.

trenz, I'm always connected to the internet and my computer is always on, except for an occasional reboot once or twice a month.

None of the ISP's are good, now that NaviPath.net went out of business...
You can get rid of the banner ads. on NetZero by going into the ppplog.txt file in windows.
And for the 10 hr/month time limit:
Put *67 before the access number.

For step-by-step instructions on how to get rid of the banner on NetZero along w/ the 10 hr time limit, go to http://www.158inc.com/documentz/dunfreeisp.txt
Note: Linux users would probably be able to use NetZero now, but they'll have to use windows in order to get the encrypted login name & passwd.
