Reply: (edit)We have 7.5.3 also and can't find a free isp either. It seems that most require OS 8 (including altavista and lycos). Let us know if you find one. Thanks!

Reply: (edit)aol was easy, but it is costing too much per month. How do I get this www.freewwweb.com that you are talking about? do they have an 800#? And what do you mean we need MacPPP to get connected?

If you go to the FAQ area for BlueLight, you'll see the disquieting statement that they do not officially support Mac and strongly urge Mac users to go somewhere else. We used them for a while (Mac OS 8.6 on a G4) but the machine would crash on every shutdown and access was slow. We finally decided to bite the bullet and pay $12 per month for a REAL ISP.
