I've known that from the beginning.

Why? And you like to have many? That's a lot of work. I once had
Bluelight, NetZero, the InFrees, and several other free ISP accounts -
all simulataneously - and heavens sake I don't even recall each of their
passwords let alone if they're still active.

FYI I graduated from college a long time ago and my school account is
VERY limited in its capabilities (alums like me get to keep their account
for life... real rare for schools to offer), as such it can't do
graphical web-browsing, and recently they cut off usenet access. So the
best thing it can do is just text e-mail and a few UNIX commands. I
access my account through Juno using Tera Term Pro, just to give you an
idea how I get to my school e-mail. (The access numbers at school are
always busy.) AFAIK they DO offer better services like SLIP/PPP for
instance, as well as 56k dialup at school, however those better services
are ONLY given to current students and faculty, not alumni or former
employees.
