I've tried eternal-september several times. They were originally

switched to eternal-september, my account was lost again. I had to
sign up once again, and shortly after that one would not work.
Again I signed up and used a different name. That lasted a month or
two before I could not connect again. That's when I gave up on
them. There's no reason a person should have to keep signing up
over and over, every few months or less.

Very surprising to me. I've used them for over a year now, I think,
with never a hitch. What I don't get is why they do it. What's in it
for them?

I too have had very good service even when it was called Mozerella. And
why they do it? Probably the same reason many of us ran free BBS with
Fidonet access. Users paid the local phone company for a local call and
we operators paid for all of the long distance telephone calls. Not
everybody is out to make a buck. ;-)
