This is untrue. Some ISPs require special software *cough* SPYWARE 
*cough* to connect to them. AOL is a classic example of this, but there 
are others. This software can cause popups.

To quote Netzero's (they require software also) website:
"NetZero does NOT support the following operating systems: Mac OS 9 or 
earlier, Windows 3.11 or earlier, Windows CE, Palm OS, Sega Dreamcast, 
Sony Playstation 2, Microsoft X-Box, Web TV, Unix/Linux for PC/Mac, and 
Mobile Phone Web."

This software (netzero) WILL cause popups.
