After I install SP2 of XP my internet stops working properly.  It says

If I get and install a Telus ADSL modem ( complete with account of course )
will I be able to take my computer to the cottage ( it's in the same area

limited by "roaming" charges ?

A years ago I signed up with SBC's DSL. It did not work the way it was
supposed to and wreaked havoc with my computer even though I was told
it would work just fine on my Windows 98 PC. I have several documented
pages of complaints and contacted tech supports on many occasions and

I recently ordered Qwest DSL with MSN but installed it without the MSN
part, yet everything seems to work fine.  Is this normal?  Is it
possible that my old dial-up ISP, CompuServe (budget AOL) is somehow

How and where do you order a plain, no frills 10 USD (ish) DSL circuit? I

I recently moved locally from one North NJ town to another.  I had Optimum
Online at the old place and it worked great.  I currently have Optimum
Online cable at the new place and it also works great.   Based on some
testing I did, I think I get up to 3.5 megabits per second ...

I have had a EN 5861 with what was Ameritech (now SBC) service for 3
years. The unit died about a week ago, and I bought an EN 5360. I am
having difficulties getting the 5360 to connect on a linux box (I get
"LCP terminated by peer" error), and I am concerned that maybe the

I tried setting up a friend's DSL tonight. She has two phone lines and
ordered DSL on her #1 line from Cavalier (also my DSL provider). The sent
her a Paradyne Reach DSL modem which I believe is MVL. I plugged the modem

We have 2 DSL connections right now.  Original was through Covad, an
ISDN/DSL I think they called it.  All worked fine.
We're switching over to a 'true' DSL through another provider.  They brought

I just received an offer to upgrade to SBC Yahoo "DSL Pro" at a good
price. (see: http://sbc.com/upgradespeed)
