[Gllug] POP Account around the world

[Liad Bokovsky]

I'm using AT&T every now and then (who needs it when you have free 
wireless spots around the world :-) and they do deliver. In most places 
around the world, AT&T offer internet connectivity using local rate 
phone number or even freefone. POP3 account for mail is also available 
through them.

For linux users, you can still use AT&T account although they do not 
have a client software for it. There are a few more parameters that you 
have to add to your login information in order to get pppd to dial in 
properly.

Cheers,

Liad
