- How to gain free access to the Internet
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- This works in the UK....and I'd imagine it works in the
- States: This is provided for informational purposes only
- Windows 95 comes with a program called icwconn1.exe.
-
- Run this program and choose "automatic"...
- your computer will then dial the Microsoft On-line
- referral server and download a list of ISP's local
- to your area. You can then choose an ISP to signup
- with and their on-line registration server will be
- dialed....Now if you look in the c:\windows\temp dir
- there are a list of files (the ones downloaded from
- referral.microsoft.com)....some of these files have
- the extention *.isp. Change this extention from isp
- to txt and open them with notepad. Amongst other info
- a user name and password are dislpayed. Using dial-up
- networking (win95) or RAS (win NT) dial the number
- provided and supply the username and password...
- configure Internet Explorer (or other browser) to use
- that ISP's web proxy server....now you have free access
- to the internet...and your laughing if they provide a
- free-phone number (toll free for the Americans.)
