Go check out http://www.metconnect.com it may work if you have a 486 PC or a pentium processor I made http://www.netzero.network on a 486 PC running win 95 as a upgrade we put 2x 16mg Ram and it is running witha old Packard Bell fixed , on board vid card that limits it to 256 colors so it blinks whenever one makes any change in screen image . That is the clostest to " Win 3.10" and free ISP I have seen . Some one said they had retrofixed a 486 PC with 128 meg of ram and win 3.10 runs with out crashing !! There is a Software That clames to convert 3.10 to " Win 95 " I think thy are there own Isp & and Browser and there is free software that makes a PC run like it was Win 95??? check it out at >this >>.http://www.NEWDEALINC.COM/ >> > http://www.NEWDEALINC.COM/productsn/main.htm ******************* >> >> SOFTWARE >> >> http://www.bookwhere.com/ >> > http://www.indexdata.dk/ >> > ******** >> > I found this it may just be what the dr ordered for an but old >> > still >> > useful 286 386 486 PC/ click this >>.http://www.NEWDEALINC.COM/ >> > http://www.NEWDEALINC.COM/productsn/main.htm >> >

Don't know what all the fuss is about - install UK Online for Windows 3.X and away you go. They will even send you the floppies!

Freewwweb is now free and no longer requires a credit card from what I have heard. I was told that you can now enter 4444 3333 2222 1111 and exp. date 01/01 and it will work. But like somebody else said, do not download the software from there. Go to www.calmira.org and use the links to go to Netscape 3.0 for Win3.x (with dialer) and download the files from there. It will work perfectly with Windows 3.1. I haven't tried it with Freewwweb, but I know the guy who has the webpage from a mailing list and he says it works perfectly. I have used the software with my reg. ISP and it works. As long as you are at calmira.org, check out the program. It is really great and free. I use it on my computer and love it.

I just went to their site and registered online with their autoreg site, and wasn't asked for a credit card #. I guess it really IS free, now.

I would like to have the free internet access for windows 3.1 I do not have a cdrom. What do I need to do to get access? Jeremy

Jeremy, as far as I know you can get free access just by using Freewwweb. I don't know about downloading the software, so maybe you should try sticking to going to a site like www.freewwway.com, or even better, use a search engine (I use "google.com" - a favorite) and find the sites that you can go to register. (i.e. go to www.google.com, type FREEWWWEB REGISTER or something similar, go to the site that sounds good - I just went to this: www.autoreg.freewwweb.com; seemed to be okay although I had problems using other ISP's.) With autoreg.freewwweb.com, you register (they don't ask for credit cards, but DO need an address, phone number; they also say you can sign up more than one account; because they only give 80 hours but I'm getting ahead of myself) and I would think it works for Windows 3.1. First, once you have given them information, you write down/save your user ID/password, then for Windows 3.1: if you're using Netscape, (3.04) you will either have to find a dialer config you can use with Netscape Navigator 3.04 or Internet Explorer 3, (which means searching for a bit with either Google or another search engine; in this case, now you have to find out how to config a "Freewwweb dialer" without needing all the stuff for Windows 95, like Dial-Up Networking etc.) this shouldn't take long; BUT, I will warn you that I do NOT yet know how long Freewwweb takes to load (couldn't say, since I'm using Windows 95; that is, not for 3.1 anyway) but will say you should have LESS problems with 3.1 than 95. (believe it or not) Once you can figure out how to connect to Freewwweb (like I said just look for a bit on the Web with some search engines, soon you should find something that says how to connect to their service using 3.1) all you have to do is make Freewwweb your home page; in Netscape, 1. Go to Options. 2. Click on General Preferences. 3. Go to "Startup Launch" / Netscape. 4. Where it says, "Browser starts with" home-page: home.freewwweb.com. 5. Click on OK. This sets up Freewwweb as your home page; by the way, if I were you, stick to 3.1 and don't upgrade to 95 unless it's really necessary. All I've found since switching is far more "IPF" (Internal Page Faults), GPF's (General Protection Faults) and alot more bugs than when I stuck with 3.1 I've found, too: for anyone else, who wants a "Free ISP", Alta-Vista is REALLY slow; if you're running at LEAST a Pentium 133 with 32 MB Ram, I still feel it will run a bit slow; (yeah on a 486 DX2-66 it runs very slow; if it's so much better on a Pentium, then it's because Internet Explorer 4 isn't being used as the browser.) Hope I was of some help. Alan.

Thank you, everyone for the great advice. I have been trying to get my daughter's old dinosaur, win 3.1 online for MONTHS! without any success. I have tried the Trumpet Winsock program, but when I try to log on, it just doesnt work. And my ISP "Tech" people have been LESS than helpful about the whole matter. I am going to try out some of the suggestions here, in hopes something will work. I will let you know what I find out. Thanks, Dina =0)

Me again. First of all, yes the freeWWWeb free internet DOES WORK!..yahoo! However, one of the biggest problems I was having with darn computer was, I bought it used, and it didnt even have a web browser! Kind of hard to get on the internet and do anything without a browser, even connect to the internet, and FORGET the TRUMPET WINSOCK!..GAWD! SOOOO I took it upon myself, to find a browser that I could possibly put onto floppy disk (since that is all the darn thing has on it) And, I found one, but it was much too large a file to put on floppy. SO, since I have a windows 98 computer of my own, I downloaded the browser, and unzipped it, and broke it down into disk size folders, which I will be putting on the internet soon, to make getting connected to the internet SOO MUCH easier for people like myself!..lol So, thank you for the tips about FreeWWWeb, and I shall be back to post my site for downloading that lifesaving browser! Thanks again, Dina =0)

Thanks for the options. I will try the calmira-netscape option, and report back whether I'm successful or not.

Unfortunately, FreeWWWeb only gives you around 80 hours a month.

Help! I went to the Freewwweb site and because of their financial woes they are now another Juno site, which requires windows 95. If I am wrong, please let me know, but I did not see any way to use 3.1 with it. Any other suggestions of free internet for me? Thanks for your help!

I was lucky enough to come across your site.I haven't gotten this much info on 3.1 internet access in all my searching.Much less on a single page.You may well have saved my old computer from certain death.We both thank you.

i cant seem to find any sites that have an isp to download onto disk so i can put it in my pc... where is there a site where i can do this witha browser?

Michael,If you have some extra time on your hands,go to www.directhit.com.Then type in 3.1 free internet in the search box.There's enough 3.1 related stuff there to keep your phone tied up for hours. Good Luck

Michael, As long as your at directhit.com,check out http://jump.to/FreeISP I'm sure you'll find a disk downloadable ISP there.And once again...Good Luck

I'm still not having any luck finding a site that has free internet access for windows 3.1. Freewwweb is now juno - sys req' start at Windows 95. And where do you go on http://jump.to/freeisp ? That site is a real mess! Any help is much appreciated! Someone could really corner the market on making free internet access available to people with Windows 3.1 . There are a ton of old computers out there with solitaire as their main use.

Freewwweb is now juno> i.e. no 3.1. http://jumpto/freeisp is hard to handle. I am gonna call those jump to guys at 1-877-4NYC-ISP and see if they support 3.1 and can send me disks. HELP US 3.1ers GET FREE INTERNET SERVICE, ANYONE, PLEASE!!!! DONT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST US.

i NEED HELP I HAVE 3.1 AND I CANT PUT ANY KIND OF INTERNET ON IT, HELP PLEASE

Okay for all who are happy with Windows 3.1 (such as myself). For a short while you can try www.worldshare.com. However, they too are going to make the irritating switch from surveys to ad banners (requiring Win 95 and up). I too was very disappointed when freewwweb went bankrupt. That ISP was smooth sailing on my old, but very reliable PC. Now that worldshare is going to require win 9X very soon. I am searching for new free ISPs that is compatible with my system. I'll keep you all posted.

I need a free internet acess for windows 3.1 does anyone know where i can get one??? I need it BAD! please help

I've just checked out Dialfree - they've gone belly-up too and now worldshare is picking up the slack. Worldshare is NOT free but it does allow a user of Win 3.1 or Linux or most anything else that can use PPP to connect to the internet and still at a relatively low cost. Here's the link for thier configuration page showing all the OS's you can use and the info for any others. http://www.worldshare.com/new/config_misc.htm

For those of you reading through responses, www.1no1.com is bulls**t. It doesn't go anywhere. So you can thank that gentleman above for wasting your time. Find another board to post garbage on, Devonare.
