Hmmm.  Posted this to the questions mailing list but did not get many
responses.  Maybe more people on this ng have experience with 
Worldnet.  Any info would be helpful.

Question:

Wonder if anyone is using AT&T Worldnet with ijppp?  I got the CD-ROM
but, of course, only Win95 is mentioned.  I'd like to access it from
2.1.5 + SOCKS on a 386 serving as a firewall to my home network.
My question is how difficult it will be to write the login chat scripts.

(For those who don't know what I'm talking about, AT&T Worldnet has 
$20/month unlimited time Internet access if you are an AT&T long 
distance subscriber.  I think MCI and Sprint also have the same type 
deals, at least in the planning stage.  Five hours per month access is 
free.)

Thanx!
Bud Dodson
