lots of problems solved: my life story

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Actually the way it works, or the way it used to when I lived in Denver 
was like this.

Qwest would provide the dsl connection, and by default they would add 
msn as the isp. However, if you got another isp which was a 
Qwest-approved carrier, you could use them over the Qwest dsl line. That 
isp you chose would be the one to give you email access via their 
routers. Now, ironically you could use qwest.net as the isp over qwest 
dsl services. If you did this, you got no email access, not even through 
qwest.net. This is the way I went with qwest as the dsl and the isp 
without email access.

Hope this clears it up.
