Agreed.  Which is a bummer since that's the number/user/password  
combo that we all can get.

Just two: one for the computer side and one for the bike side.

If we tie up both phone lines in the shop, then people won't be able

That would probably be the best option.  Karl gave me his username/ 
password for SBC.  I'm going to try to find out Charter's dial-up  
numbers (anyone know?)
