In December, I installed dsl using SBC Yahoo. I told them I was using Windows. After they had me online I switched to Linux.The only advantage to using Yahoo's software is; 1. It makes Windows Explorer look good. 2. Their diagnostics have always shown SBC to be the source of a failed connection. I keep it installed just to save myself the hassle. I originally was connected directly to the modem, but I now go through a router. Mark is right, but if we want dsl that means sbc. Just do like Ed says. Rich
