I personally don't miss QuantumLink.  I hard purchased a Modem/1200 for
my 128 a few years back and got the free subscription.  Signing up
with my Visa card, I used it once or twice before the modem developed
problems, and I had to return it.  I phoned QuantumLink and cancelled.
Returned the disk and modem, got my refund (they had no others).  
Apparently when they (the dealer) had repaired/replaced the modem, they
put the package back on the shelf with my disk.  Someone else bought
it, and since your password IS ON THE DISK WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT OR
KNOWLEDGE some @#>!? used my account for a month and used up about
$225 worth of my Visa account.  QLink told me I should have formatted
the disk (boy that would have made returning it easy), although none
of the documentation made any mention of this.  Visa said a hearty
"Oh Well...".  So, $225 later, I've never signed up for another 
service, and certainly never will sign up for an account that doesn't
let me pick my own password, change it, and require it for logon.
