I-Opener ISP's---Help please

New MessageI-Opener ISP's---Help please (modified 0 times) Joanne

My mom got an IO in Feb of 2000, and by July of 2001 they sold out to Earthlink and she could never get reconnected. I tried connecting it on my telephone line, where my ISP was Juno, and it would not connect. I tried to connect with my new DSL connection and that doesn't work either. A window pops up saying "According to our records, you have purchased the ANY ISP package and have elected to maintain your own connection settings. Would you like to enter or edit your ISP settings now?" and then it goes on to a page where I can do that, but nothing I've done seems to work.
Is this little thing worth keeping?? I love the size and ease of it. Is Earthlink the only provider that works with it? Thanks to anyone who can help!

There hasn't been a lot of action on the i-openers, so understand why there wasn't a lot of replies....

From what I know and I sold my last i-opener years ago, my advice would be to get one of those $399 computer specials like at CircuitCity or BestBuy; with all honesty, there ust isn't a whole lot of life left in standard i-Opener.

BUT! it might be possible to do what you want...

Email Badflash, Jack might be able to help....

Really though... One of the reasons why the i-Opener failed was becasue it couldn't run the majority of websites, no realplayer, no movie type content, the majority of webcontent wasn't supported then and I am sure not now. A standard PC Celeron based system even and old PII or PIII beats the crap out of of the i-opener!! Check around, you might be able to find a freeby Pentium system.... Even in a dumspter ??

Even the hackers aren't doing a whole lot with IO's any more.... Personally I thought the GCT's beat the crap out of the IO's.... they were made by the same group but never got distributed in the scale that the IO's did. They were twice as fast, had network built-in, removable compact flash to run off of.


If this doesn't work, I can't say what might; you might have to use Dolly and put the ANYISP image to the Sansdisk on the IO, which might be tough since I am not sure if you can find it since I couldn't...
