Hi David, Sounds like you are successfully logging onto earthlink if you can get email at all. This might suggest that you have a poor telephone connection. Is there a different access number you could try?
Also, do you have any significant noise on your phone line during regular phone usage? This could also cause a problem in maintaining a solid dialup connection. If you can, you might try attempting to dial in using a different phone line. Maybe you could try it from a friend's house for example. Don
