Hello Bob and others, Yes I know for a fact that Juno has never implemented the policy of downloading programs to do distributed computing. I check what applications and processes are running and there are never any that I cannot identify. Also I belong to a Juno help list and others on the list have stated the same thing. I cannot be sure about NetZero, but since you use what ever mail agent you want with NetZero you would be able to tell if it downloads a program. I do not know if this is stated in the end users agreement for all of Juno's plans. It might just be in the free accounts. Once in a while I get a message from Juno telling me that if users spend a lot of time online with the free account, they are subject to restrictions. I know I have used over 10 hours some months and have never had any restrictions placed on me.

I have a few questions, partly out of curiosity. You stated that Juno and NetZero (United Online) has never implemented their policy (assuming it is in the contract, free or otherwise). I am curious how you can be so sure? Do you have a program or something that can detect their intrusion or have they just stated this? Is this policy in effect for all there plans? Thanks Life is what happens in between plans. ----------------------------------------------------------- AOL dfwooledge ICQ 59686911 www.geocities.com/wooledge001_/ www.mental-health-advocate.us wooledge001@xxxxxxxx wooledge001_@xxxxxxxxxxx dwooledge@xxxxxxxx To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
