Does anyone know which dialup providers are compatible with ICS (internet
connection sharing)? I've discovered that Walmart and AOL 7.0 are not
compatible with ICS. Thank for your help.

Any dial-up provider that connects using a standard Windows dial-up
networking connection, not proprietary software, is compatible with
ICS.

A small, local ISP is almost sure to use a standard dial-up networking
connection. You can use standard connections with MSN and Earthlink,
instead of using their software. With MSN, specify your user name as
"MSN/username". With Earthlink, use "(e-mail address removed)".
