FAQ: Q: So if it is free how do you make your money?
A: We consider ourselves a no frills ISP we offer only e-mail support. All of our dialup sevice is add supported.
It supports XPs builtin DUN.
OK got the facts & ugly adware part out of the way.
When I check my firewall with my paid dialup ISP, I am totally STEALTH. No closed or open ports. On all GRC port scan tests. And 3 or 4 other firewall testing sites.
When I use Great Dial Up (adware) ISP. My same firewall, Sygate Personal Firewall v5.5 build 2710. Shows an open & a closed port (79,80). Just on the common ports test at GRC.com. Didn't run the full first 1056 ports test.
I don't consider this Sygates faullt. Can I make my firewall fully stealth with this adware ISP? Or is it impossible? Or do I have to finally switch firewalls?
Thanks.

Been awhile since I set up a Dial up connection , have you tried Sygate's on line scan to test your ports ?

GRC is just as reliable. That's where I got these results.
And I didn't want to take the Symantec test.
