OK -- next question -- were either of the dial-up services on the laptop set up via a customized install routine, or did you simply set up a WinXP dial-up object for each of them?

Do either of those service use their own interface software the way AOl, NetZero, or MSN do? Is there a customized browser installed? Or, are you strictly using WinXP dial-up functions and IE for accessing these ISP's?
