Unhappy

I AM LOST trying to figure out this thinmodem+.
I dont really know where to start. I use AOL at home.
and I am getting my mail through there new beta test for palm os. So am I correct in thinking that I need a different ISP (other than aol) to connect. Since I pay for aol service I hate to pay for another service just for my prism(unless there is something cheap out there). so I searched for Free ISP's I thought I would try juno. ( the configuring directions seem complicated to me but I will give it a shot). after reading everyones recommendations I thought I would register for Blazer as my browser.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo my Questions are am I making Good choices as far as Juno and Blazer, and if i use Blazer can i delete Browse-it from my prism, and lastly will one-touch E-mail work with my AOL mail?

I love the Extra 8 mg's of space but my head is spinning from the rest of this stuff!

thanks in advance for any answers I may get.

If you get AOL's new beta (aol mail 3.0) you can use AOL as a normal ISP and run a browser. It's up to you if you want blazer or browse-it, both are good, but blazer isn't free.

I have been told that you can not use aol as an isp. unless you know something I don't know

I think AOL offers service without dialup at a discount. If you cannot get it to work, but like aol(?), you could pay for the non-dialup service and then get a bare-bones isp for dialup which would work well with aol, the visor, and tm+. My bare-bones isp is $15/mo and I doubt non-dialup aol is much more than that, they are just selling a fancy version of yahoo only with more spam in your mailbox.
