??? No I didn't...
However, I have sucessfully signed up without a Windows
box in sight. NoLimits requires you to fill out a paper
form. Call 1800 923 111 (I think, that's _sales_ not
_support) and ask for the form to be sent out. Alternatively,
you might be able to pick one up at an Esat dealer.
NoLimits doesn't require any special dialer or software.
You tell Esat which phone number you'll be dialling in from
and they add this to the list of allowed numbers for NoLimits.
(You'll need to have caller ID enabled on this line for your
internet calls.)
Then just configure your PPP dialer to use nolimits/nolimits
as the username/password and PAP authentication. There is
no dialup script. The number 13321 0300 1235. If you dial
this number without being signed up, you'll get a busy tone.
Once they add your number to the access list, you'll get a
modem answering.
Later,
