Gerry, I am wondering what your situation with DSL is with your system???
Ed states that he has instant access to his DSL under XP, where as before he had to wait around 60 secs for access with both 98 and ME. Since you have DSL fully up and running on your system, was wondering if you are getting the same kind of response on your system, or what kind do you get???
