I went with ElephantDrive after reading about it at Black Enterprise here: http://www.blackenterprise.com/cms/exclusivesopen.aspx?id=4332. Maybe Earthlink will do the same for AOL dial up folks?

The walled garden of the internet may be crumbling down. I am sure they will sell off the dial-up internet division to some one like Earthlink, People PC or another company still doing dial-up. Even though dial-up is a failing business model even if you are trying to target people in outlying areas because broadband is too accessible. Earthlink will soon be phasing out their dial-up as well and everybody on it will be forced to upgrade. More than likely around the time television stops broadcasting in analog.
