-=PCTechTalk=- Re: setting up dial up

Yes I have three numbers to try, and have tried all three .
 I am trying to get it working before I leave for UCLA my mom is having surgery 
Wednesday and I would prefer to use Earthlink account to send out the results 
to our friends.  It's a major surgery so we are all concerned.. (she is 84)  
anyway, I am able to get AOL and will use that if I have to but.... VBG  I am 
partial to Earthlink.   thanks for the link will check it out but I think I 
might have been there before, but who knows something might pop out that I 
missed.

I think they check the page the same as we do--LOL Do you happen to have
another dial up number to try?

It is hard to "see" what might be wrong on email but here is a tutorial with
pictures that might help.

If nothing jumps out at you here then I would rest up and try again tomorrow
with chat and support.

times.  he had me change some settings and then it wouldn't even dial  wow
that was scary... but I erased what he had me type in..

isn't answering.  I was online on cable after I hung up from the guy in
India and they guy in Chat check and said the lines were working properly,
guess he could check them...
