"Phone company" guy busted his butt to find the problem; installed a new line and mentioned an "ether net" for the house at a very reasonable price/month. "Comptroller" discovered that the cost was the same as having a single line with "call waiting" (disconnect the computer to take a call or "Ed! Get off the computer; I want to make a call!!!) and that ALL three computers and the phone could operate simultaneously! And at high speed! Life is better. Much better. NRA Endowment member LECS #2

When I bought my first home computer, I was on dialup for about four days. Mainly because I bought it on a Saturday and Monday I was in contact with our local Cable TV company who offered the best service in high speed internet service. They got me all hooked up the following day, a Tuesday and I never looked back. Curt

That was something else......
