superdave, I agree! I don't know how many are "hooked up" with AOL, but they are about as bad as it gets, at times. I have had the sam thing happen, and can't tell if it is my broadband, my AOL, or the computer. I uaually go to anothe unit ant check. that way it proves the computer is okay, but won't clear the ISP or BB. So as a last resort, I go to the unit with a modem, and try the "dial-up", to see if it is okay. There are times when AOL gets so overloaded, it has to "drop the vball, now, and then">
