Only the name that pays the bill would be able to call AOL and get anything like that done. It just happens. It used to happen to me and my kids frequently, especially when I was visiting at my son's and could only use his phone line to connect. (At home I had cable.) Sometimes I would knock them off and sometimes they would knock me off. There didn't seem to be any discernable pattern. Sharon
