ISP risk

I found what seems to be a public service free local internet dialup
provider. I am not inclined to believe the ISP itself could be a virus risk,
but I just wanted to be sure how you check such things.

Just don't use it. If it is free you may not have monetary costs but there may be other
costs associated with the service.

Another spamming affiliate for panix pretending to ask a question.
 
Which is why I haven't used it so far. THanks for confirming my hunch.

What is your problem? Panix has been around since the 1980s.
Are you even that old?

I normally use netzero.net for GUI, limited to ten hours per week.
I am looking at metconnect.com, which looks legit but I don't know anyone
who used it. My normal usage is by text-only unix-shell dialup.

Here in Greece, OTE the national carrier and ISP gives you the choice
on signup of whether you want encryption of your data to and from the
ISP port. At least that's what they say. I chose not to, since I
figured it would slightly slow down the connection. And I don't see
how they would do that anyway--would every http become https? (Or
perhaps they do it with some sort of virtual connection, like with
HMA, see next line).

But whenever I want a secure connection, say if I'm sending out a
sensitive email, I use Hide My Ass as a proxy--a great service that's
very cheap, Google them. That way not even the ISP knows what the
email contains.

Just don't use it. If it is free you may not have monetary costs but there may be other
costs associated with the service.
Here in Brazil there are dozens of free dialup ISPs, most of
them make their money off ads on the startup page, charging for
services like virus scanning your mail, or blocking malware sites, and
selling your preferences and contacts to the email-marketing business.
They are very useful when you are traveling, you just need the
local number and a user/password (all free)
I would never use a non encrypted session for my mail, or for
anything else sensitive.
They are as intrusive as facebook and google. (that is , very)
:)

Methinks you be just 'a-trollin in da haze
There's just somthing about http://www.panix.com/~vjp2/vasos.htm that
strikes me as kookdom and trollheartedness.

I don't have any axe to grind with Panix,but they do have a mix of both
extreme gurus and total k00ks there.

Kinda obvious that somebody left the barn door open on this clown

Vasos Panagiotopoulos sez:

Spanakopita. This struedel made from goat cheese and unwashed
spinach is even more crunchy if the lad you paid to bicycle this huge
pie to the village oven dropped it near some hazardous construction
site to make the bottom sparkle with sand and debris. Variations
include tiropita (only cheese), galaktobureko (farina custard),
melintzanopita (eggplant - tastes like meat), vlitopita (various
greens high in ochridotoxins known to produce the high rate of Balkan
urinary cancers). The original form is the burek (aka pirogi), the
Turkish finger-sized version of the Chinese eggroll, filled with goat
cheese and unusually gastrostimulant garnishes several times stronger
than dill, mint (diosmo) or parsely. These gastrostimulant garnishes,
if ingested by the unconstipated gourmet, could lead to
diverticulitis. Grape or cabbage leaves covering various combinations
of meat and rice are called dolma and yuvarlaki (the latter akin to
Chinese dumplings or Irish potstickers or Jewish Kreplakh or Russian
Pirogi). Greeks who have adopted education-despising, papal ways in
the west are derrogated as "dolma - Greek leaves on the outside and
papal meathead on the inside".

LOL FUNNY! --RL


History: I was born in Astoria, NY and have lived in the NYC part
of Long
Island's Gold Coast since I was four. I'm full of
contradictions:
Conservative yet Ivy League, NYC yet Long Island,
Greek,
yet (Pindar) Alpine! My mom's family first came to
Castle
Garden, NYC in 1885 from Trilofos Ieropiyis,
Kastoria,
Makethonia, Greece but my mom was born in Athens,
Greece. She
used to be a typist in the Greek Pentagon and her oldest
brother
once ran the Greek rails and her cousin used to run the
Greek NATO
mission. My mom's dad was kidnapped and killed by the
reds at
the Tomb of the Thousand on Mt Olympus, just as my mom was
about to
take the exams to enter Athens Polytechnic to be a
chemical
engineer; This event shaped my political beliefs. My dad
was born
in Karryes Prussu, Evrytania, Aetolia, Greece, lost both
of his
parents before age five and studied at Athens Business
School, CCNY
(Chem Engg), & U S Carolina. Born on the side of a cliff,
he kept
moving to ever larger towns seeking ever more
advanced night
schools - his ENTIRE education was at night. His older
brother
wrote the book which transformed postWW2 Greek
schoolgardens into
engines of scientific education and was later asst to
Educ Min
Karapiperis. My dad now has more family in the western
Carolinas
than in Greece.

THIS IS THE REAL DEAL--TRUST ME--AND A RATHER COMMONS STORY FOR
GREEKS. DURING THE CIVIL WARS HERE THAT OCCURRED DURING AND AFTER
WWII MORE PEOPLE DIED THAN THE ENTIRE US MILITARY DURING WWII--AND
GREECE WAS ONLY ABOUT 3 TO 5 MILLION PEOPLE. YUGOSLAVIA WAS EVEN
WORSE--RL

Projection noted, Nobody. Do you want everybody to be a nobody like
you? Watching American sitcoms and fascinated by movie trivia such
