Am I correct in thinking I can go to totally free A O L , and keep all my options that I had on dial up .... ???? Gerri- How are you connecting to AOL? Are you coming on via the TCP/IP connection and using your cable modem to connect to AOL rather than dialing up? If your system is set to connect you to AOL via the cable modem then you should be able to switch over to the free AOL. As for keeping ALL the options you had on dial up -- just about other than tech support. Joan
