AOL will, however, accept a bogus name, address, and credit card number (as long as the checksum is correct) for the initial ten free hours plus however long it takes for the first bill to bounce.
America "On Line" will also accept direct debits from an untraceable bank account (for this they charge a little extra).
This used to be the case. However they've fixed this, and won't let you use your 10 free hours until they have a valid number. I've been told that Compuserve still accepts any credit card number as long as the checksum is valid. I haven't tried it. (Note that as long as you're only using the "free hours", you're not stealing any services.) --- Dr. Dimitri Vulis Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
