I don't think so but I heard it is written in Java too so it should be a snap(maybe they are worried about their own Linux knowledge). There are other free ISPs out there look at isps.com and price search it.

No....but use http://www.freewwweb.com for Linux...no ad bar whatsoever or special login programs...easy stuff.
Netzero does some funky things with the logon data. For example: if your user name is jack, then it will send your user as :jack@netzero.com or something similar. It also adds a couple of characters to the password. Netzero doesn't support mac yet, i don't think they will support linux anytime in the next year or two.

Under windows.... got to properties under dun on the netzero connection and set it so that it keeps a log then in the look look for you user name which starts with a :whatever@netzero.net then look for a string of characters between a 1 and a 0 or the other way around... that is the user name a password that you need...... then run winipcfg for the gateway.. or what ever.. should work.. email me for questions...

There's a message board that covers this topic: http://freenetcubs.cjb.net. People there are really helpful in getting stuff like that working.

Get yourself a cheapo computer, one that meets Netzero's minimum requirements (90Mhz 32M). Install winproxy, along with netzero, on this computer. Connect this computer to your linux box with a crossover cable and a pair of network cards and voila! --you'll have internet access on your linux box and with NO banner. I commonly find working P-100 boxes in the trash that work, but if you aren't inclined to dig in some trash, I've seen suitable computers at thrift stores for as little as twenty dollars. Check out http://www.winproxy.com

Use a freeware program called Anolog X proxy. It's at http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/proxy.htm. If you can get the computers to see eachother on the network (i.e. ping) you can have a shared connection in about two minutes with this program. I think the install is about 700K. This is much better than the $300 proxy+ program which, after a couple hours I still couldn't get to work.
p.s. run a few affiliate programs like desktopdollars on the server machine since you won't be looking at it anyway. go ahead and email me if you have any questions.

Summary: Not legally, but since it for Linux I think you all deserve to know. Go to gold.netzero.net to sign up for a new account. The only thing special you must do is sign up with the password "aaa". Now ...
