I just relocated to San Jose, CA, and I know there are plenty of readers of this list in that area. Right now I am temporarily housed so coax cable or DSL are probably not worthwhile options. All I want is a local phone number to dial-up to. I'd just go with one of the national mega-ISPs, but the CDs they send out run on Windoze, which I do not. I can imagine the phone conversation now trying to extract the information needed to configure my PPP from one of their help desk drones. I shudder. Anyone have a suggestion for a local ISP in the Valley? I just want to call and connect, a maildrop is good but not necessary. No frills, low bills. If anyone can reassure me that using one of the big guys, AOL, ATT, etc., is not too painful (or the trick to make it painless), that would be just as good. Thanks. -- Crist J.
