Hatteras ISPs- earthlink, aol?

does anyone have any experience with either earthlink or aol (don't laugh, it's for my father) in Hatteras?

Or have you used another provider?

Earthlink definitely works in Hatteras -- but you MAY have to make some changes to your dial up settings.  Our password was too long for how their system is setup up there -- and we were having login problems (tech support told us how to fix it though).  On the other hand, my brother used earthlink there last month, and he did not have to make any changes.

I have seen other people use aol up there also -- should work fine.

252-261-1198 is the local Earthlink number for Hatteras.
AOL also has a local number but conscience prohibits giving it.   Dirol

May your water be smooth and your winds be swift.

slogger,
your consience better give it up 'cos I only get 20 dial up hours/month on my dsl account.  And I'll probably spend 15 of them telling you how good the sailing is there  ;D

Hope you don't have to spend any of those hours in AOHell but here goes --
The last local number I had for AOL in Hatteras was 252-987-2350.  
Don't know if it'll still work for ya.

(Now how can I sleep...)  :(

May your water be smooth and your winds be swift.

slog-man,
you are a prince.  Honestly, though, the reason I needed the aol number is because I'm a regular in the Jennifer Garner chat room and would hate to give it up for 2 weeks.  ;)

Re: Hatteras ISPs- earthlink, aol?

thanks for all the help.  dsl in atlanta is great but dial up in hatteras is even better if you know what I mean.

Still can't figure out this kite thing.  Saw 12-15 kites the other day all speeding by downwind to be retrieved by a jet ski. I guess pretty soon we can expect to find the equivalent of a chair lift out here in the sound.
