I tried having a separate line for my computer once a couple of years ago but my phone bill was almost double what it normally is and I could not afford that so I had it disconnected. Lloyd In some cases AOL is making it cheaper to have DSL through Verizon (at least it is Verizon in my area) than it is to have Dial-up. And you don't have to have another phone line to stay connected. I don't know if it would solve the problem -- but you might look into it. Joan
