Dude,

I'm sorry if I sound like a stick in the mud, but it seems you want
everything
ant no cost whatsoever.  If you can find something like this, I salute you.
But my guess is you'd have a better chance of finding hens teeth.
I think you'll have to spring for a few bucks a month to get the level of
service you're looking for.   But I do wish you luck.

P.S.  If you do find something like this, let us all know so we can join in.


Regards,


Jim
