This is a strange one.
 
Moved two PB1400's frm NY to Florida. CE was working fine on both 
machines in NY.

Changed the aol access phone number in CE (2.5v3) on both. Changed 
nothing else. My PB is connecting fine w/aol via CE. 

But now my wife's CE (exact same configuration as mine) is having 
intermittent problems. The modem dials aol's access number - but it then 
hangs and eventually she gets a timeout message.  "Dialing" appears in 
the connection status window - we hear the modem dialing, but usually 
that's as far as she gets before a timeout.

She connects sometimes and gets her messages - but more often, she has a 
problem. 

CE on my machine connects with aol and gets messages without fail. NO 
intermittent problems whatsoever.

Here's what we have tried:

Switched my modem with her's - no change. 

Tried using my phone jack. No change.

Ran Disk Warrior. Found no problems.

Rebuilt CE's data base. 

Nothing in the temp Incoming folder.

Tried conflict testing (using Conflict Catcher). No villain.

Tried changing modem types and access numbers. No change.

She tried connecting to aol using their software - fine. So apparently 
it's not aol's problem (particularly since CE on my machine is working 
fine w/aol).

She also connects and gets messages with CE from att.net just fine - so 
her problem is unique to CE and aol.

Internet access on her machine is working fine. So it's not her phone 
line.

Again, I have looked for ANY difference in my CE settings as compared to 
hers. ALL settings appear to be exactly the same.

Why is she having problems when I'm not?

Many thanks!
