Maybe they still have a non-cookie page available through an alternate 
subscription mechanism.  I suspect IDT is still using the same Lynx 
GEnie has, which is 2-4-FM. Both of us need to bug our service 
providers if we hope to stay on that network.  You may need to look 
into running PPP on your PC and using a DOS version of Lynx.  Cookie 
support was added at about version 2.7, over a year ago.
