Can I use the MSN software with my broadband adapter just as a web browser? I have RR cable and I don't want to pay MSN just to use my own cable with this device, is there a patch or something for it? pop me an email, matrixnet2020@fastmail.fm

Rumor has it that you can sign up for an account, create a "guest" account with, say, a hotmail address and then kill the primary account. No one has verified this works though. As shipped, you can't use the built-in software without an MSN account though.

I can definitively state that this will not work. The guest account will only work as long as you have an active MSN account. I canceled the MSN because they dropped their $9.95 broadband access fee and offer now only the $24.95 as an option. This in addition to my cable cost was too much for me. Told my spouse that I will find something better………I am back to square one. No Linux experience to hack this thing (although hack-able IA1) and limited info on how to proceed with getting WINxx on it.

Wow. I would have expected that they would have mentioned the pricing change to existing customers, but I still have another month or two on my free trial. If that's the case, I'm definitely canning the account. Of course, I don't think any of my IA-1's have actually run the MSN image in quite some time, so I should probably kill the account anyway...

Of course, I didn't think their software was that great anyway. Sure, it was a little more "pretty", and the little buttons did things, but I'm actually more satisfied with the Linux solution.
