Hi, Don and everyone, Except for the difference in personal details, my SBC DIAL-UP settings are exactly the same as yours. I have verry successfully used them for VOICENOTE internet and email services since February 7, 2004. Using the instructions in CHAPTER 12of the online USERS' GUIDE, I established my IE dial-up VOICENOTE connection in less than ten minutes and have been using it with no problems ever since. Once I have installed my wireless hardware and have received the 6.1 update, I will rarely, if ever, use JFW as my web browser again!
