Hi, users of the at-home service have different results depending on where
you are. In my case; I had to spend a week trying to figure out DHCP.
The tech support were no help. All they knew was Windows. I finally
got it working, and love the service, but it started out as a real
pain. I can't use there web sight with Lynx, but it's no big loss.
