Hi Dale: I'm sorry to hear that you're having such a tough time with your EarthLink connections. We've been with EarthLink for a number of years now and have only had problems once. When I called they were knowledgeable about the problem and offered another dial-up number that wasn't listed on the Web site. >Just sent the following email to earthlink: >"the numbers you suggest are long distance for me >i keep getting: "connection terminated because other side is not >responding" >nothing you've suggested has helped--including the 46 steps provided for >OS 9, which is not even my OS Have you looked at this EarthLink Support document? "How to Configure the Mac OS X Network Panel for Dial Up Access" <http://help.earthlink.net/techsupport/xmldocs/macintosh/os_x/operating_system/2930.help.html> It goes through everything step-by-step and covers all the settings necessary in OS X. It would be worth looking at to verify that you have everything set up correctly. >everything was fine with my old, discontinued number: 253-414-1035 >the only local numbers i have NOW are: 253-617-0020 & 590-4492 >neither of them works, as i continue to get the "connection terminated >because other side is not responding" message In the past I've found that discontinued EarthLink numbers sometimes continue working, so you could give that old number another try and see if it's in service and works any better. Also I see that EarthLink's Internet Access Numbers has this number also listed as local for your area 360 362 0020 BREMERTON, WA, if so give it a try. >I use IE 5.1 and am perfectly happy with it when i can keep the >connection, as i could before earthlink changed my dial-up number.

I don't think that IE is the cause of your problems, but you could try another browser, such as Netscape, Mozilla or iCab. Do you also get the "connection terminated because other side is not responding" message when using email? If all else fails, try calling EarthLink Technical Support at 800-719-4660, they may be able to help you or provide an unlisted access number.
