 Alright, I have access to an MSN account and I refuse to EVER use another PC again. (Hell, I won't so much as even buy an XBOX) How do I use MSN on Mac through Remote Access? I am running Mac OS 9 if that's relevant. Thanks!!!!  |

| I'm not familiar with MSN. Does it not simply provide a PPP dialup? -Rob

| Well.. Yes it does have a PPP dialup but unfortunately Microsoft has people simply installing MSN Explorer and getting online by simply clicking that so not many know how to do it without the explorer which isn't available for Mac. I have managed to get MSN to work on my Dreamcast so I may play Phantasy Star Online but I cannot get it to work on my Mac. Right now, I am using a free Lycos.com account which feels the need to disconnect me every half hour. |

| Oh man. That would make me scream. Whenever I move, I look for a simple, local ISP that can give me cheap PPP without any fancy (that's read: viral) ISP-flavored software. -Rob

| Well... ... It IS Microsoft. ::snicker:: I know that to use an MSN account with Dreamcast you merely have enter MSN/Username, Password, Dialup Number. NO DNS. But how is it done on Mac OS through Remote Access? Surely there is a way to get it to work! I am sick and tired of using this pathetic excuse for an ISP (Lycos) |

| LOL... I;ve had bad luck with ISPs.... everytime I commit to one they go out of business :P (Now...hmmmm so if I commited to AOL would that happen ??? naaahh wont try it too expensive :P) Well, I use $7-$9/month ISPs. AT&T has a $7 per month plan unlimited access look into that lol. MSN on a mac..you can achieve that. Just go into remote access and type in username, pass, and access number and it *should* work.

| Be careful, though, of AT&T's $7/mo plan. It's one of those Banners-That-Don't-Go-Away services along with a We-Track-And-Sell-Your-Surfing-Habits. And I have to <em>pay</em> for that? I don't think they have Mac software anyway. Still, you should be able to find cheap local ISPs wherever you are. I know, that doesn't solve your MSN problem exactly. -Rob
