No. What he said was that .netcom and .ix.netcom are separate accounts.
Period. The Netcruiser people pay a significantly lower rate in exchange for
having to go through the Netcruiser interface, and they are .ix'ers. The
shell people actually make fun of the .ix'ers.

[log in to unmask] are two separate accounts run by two different people.
