I've used Compuserve for my ISP for approx 10 years. It's the only one I've had. Now that I have Vista on my Dell XPS M1530, it won't work. Compuserve doesn't have plans to upgrade either.
What do you guys reccomend for an ISP? I need something that I can use dial-up on, when travelling.
I have a wireless cable modem at home thru Baja Broadband that I've used for about a year. I can connect without a problem to this with IE and Firefox, so is Baja Broadband my ISP for highspeed? Have I've been paying Compuserve for nothing?
I have hundreds and hundreds of my "Favorite" websites on Compuserve. Is there a way I can import them to IE or Firefox?
AOL is Compuserve's "sister", should I just sign up with them?
Thanks for any direction you can give me!

Holy crap, Compuserve is still in business? And people still use dial up?
Ever try the cheap options like NetZero? -
well if you have highspeed, why use dialup?

Ah your like my neighbor who had aol dialup then got att dsl and kept paying aol because she used the aol browser and thought she would lose her favorite link to united airlines (shes works for them). It took some convincing but i showed her a browser can work even if you are using a different isp.

"....Ever try the cheap options like NetZero?"
Nope, all I've ever used is Compuserve. I looked at Netzero but I'm not sure if this is what I need. Can I connect with dial-up and my wireless cable?
I need dial-up. At times my wife and I work as a travel nurse and live in a RV. Most RV parks don't have reliable wireless, but do have telephone lines. When we travel and stay in hotels, I'll check my emails with dial-up and save the $10-$15/day for a hi speed connection.

So transfer your mail, Baja probably already has an account email setup for you. So you could just transfer you saved email to its email address.
Transfering bookmarks will be rather easy. There is a file in compuserve's program that contains them all. I think all you need to do is copy that file into IE or FF. Then save, you will have a document complete. Beside FF has an import utility it may do it for you. -
Earthlink has high speed w/ 20 hours of dial-up per month.

Thanks for the tips guys!
If I can get out of work in time, I'll stop by the local Baja Broadband office today and see what they offer in regards to dial-up services/ISP.
I created a Gmail account.... now I have to figure out Microsoft Outlook.
