I can be online when all of a sudden I get cut off. I immediately sign back on but, get cut off again with the message saying "Your account is already connected using AOL Dial up access. Only 1 screen name may use AOL Dial up at a time." I have asked him how he does it, he says he only sign on normally, that he doesn't know that I am online at the time. I have tried to sign on when I know he is online but cannot. Is there a secret to cutting someone off to get online yourself? Lloyd Lloyd , my understanding is that only one person can be on line at one time, on dial up w/aol.... and he does not know you are trying to get on line... you only know he is on line.. Maybe someone else has a solution for you.. gerri
