=Can anybody tell me if i can go to internet without a Text Account...

No. You need a Win95, and MicroSoft certified computer literacy class.
Oops. Sorry, did not mean to be rude. But, as an old wisdom says, to
ask a auestion, you need to know half of the answer...

I suppose, you mean what ISPs       Namely, you need PPP (or SLIP)
call "Text only account" this       feature. That's it. Nothing
days. No, you do not need it to     else. Then, when your machine
make your computer an internet      dials your ISP, it will become
host. What you need for that,       smth like ip32-43.qc.ca (you'll
is what they call "Graphics"        even be able to telnet to it
(or even "Full graphics") account.  from the outside!).
