Please help me!
I want to help my friend to connect to the Internet. I have
a dial-up connection and I want to call him when I am online, so he will pay nothing for his connection! Do you now a program for this (or an other method to help my friend)?

Excuse my poor english!

Thank you!

P.S.: My speed connection will be slowed?
 
Get familiar with search engines. Find one you like and type in Free Internet. You will get alot of different companies that offer free service. From that point on you will have to decide which one you want by what each one offers. Most have small adds in the browser window or a popup window with adds that you have to deal with in return for receiving free internet service.
 
Try some of the free access Internet Service Providers (ISP) of the web.
Try downloading the software to your computer first, then burn it on a CD so that your friend can install it from there. If you don't have a CD burner, some sites allow you to save the program to consecutive flopppy disks.
Once your friend is running, he can sign up for a passport from MSN messenger and HOTMAIL, or AOL instant Messenger, or Mirabilis ICQ. You will have to do the same in order for you to chat with each other.
Among the most popular free ISP are:


Enjoy!
 
What you are trying to do is of course possible, but I think it is going to be much harder than you realize.

Just get him one of those free ISPs listed above by the other guys, it will save you alot of time and trouble.
