GEN: DirectWeb Co.

[Karen <defrank@VOICENET.COM>]

Has anyone had any experiences with Direct Web?
This company, for a deposit of $150, will send you a computer, monitor,
modem, etc - all you need to get on the  internet - along with Microsoft
Suite and an anit virus program whose name I can't remember.  There are
three packages, the cheapest of which is $19.95 a month, for three
years.  At the end of three years they will replace your computer with
an upgrade, or you send the one you have back and you are done with
them.  At any time you can cancel your contract and return the computer.

I called the # (1-888-INVASION) and asked a few questions, and I found
out that the preferences are set so you must connect thru the DirectWeb
website, and you can not change it.  There is also an advertiser's
message at the opening each day, simialr to AOL.

Do you have any experiences with this?  It sounds too good to be true.
Or, if you can supply me with some "intelligent" questions to ask, I
would appreciate it.
