Actually, his has both a phone modem and a 3com ethernet card. I know,
this was my old computer, and I have had Roadrunner for ages (Like over
15 mos!) now. I love my cable. No hassles, except the bill (only $39.95
extra per month). It's worth it to me, though.

We uninstalled the 3com, just in case that was causing difficulties,
then I had him take out the network settings (which I didn't know would
remove the desktop icon! Anyone know how to get it back?). He's used
Speigel (sp?) and yahoo's teamed up freeware to dialup, and it's a pain,
trust me! I installed/uninstalled that thing about 4 times. Haven't a clue
what's wrong. I tuned him into a company that offered 30 days free trial
(www.speedynet. something) that I used to have BRR (Before Roadrunner),
and hopefully the tech support there can help them get online!

Sighs. The wonders of modern conveniences...
