Well with any dial-up service it is important that you make sure they have a local phone number available. The last thing you want to find out after you sign up and start using it is that you were incurring long distance charges the whole time. I have experience with PeoplePC and found them adequate. As with any dial-up it slooooow but if she's just using it for e-mail and very light browsing that may not be an issue for her. Some prices revolve around contracts. With Netzero a $10/month charge is with a 12 month commitment whereas for $15/month you can cancel anytime. Something to think about. You may want to find out who she gets telephone and cable from and see if they also provide a discount for a bundled package including internet. If cost is an issue but she's unhappy with the speed of dialup that could be a way of getting a better deal on something like DSL (My local carrier does all three services for $99).
Hope this helps,
Tim Owens

Hi there
This is kind of personal, but it could apply to all Mac users, too.
My 83 year old Mom (in south Florida) wants to get in on "this internet thing" so she can get email from her friends and family.
She asked me about NetZero (she saw the advert on TV) and I must admit that I am ignorant regarding cheap dial up internet services. Can I get some input from y'all?
I need names, links, prices, feedback on the pluses and minuses of the service.
Thanks for whatever help you can offer.
