Yes - similar here. Seemed to install OK but any attempt to log-on produced multiple reported attempts to initialise (57 !!!). None of these attempts activated the modem. I kept AOL6 installed and have now dumped 7 and reverted. Have been with AOL since I started and their upgrade history seems to head inexorably downhill. I still have AOL3 on board and it will log-on much faster than 6 and show 56K as the working speed. 6 shows anything between 30K and 42 K. Presumably, by the time we get to AOL 10 we can revert to 9600 baud modems !! <img src="mad.gif" border="0">
