Hi; I spent and hour on the phone setting up an older woman with connection on her Win95 system. A very slow process because she questioned every command and wanted every move explained. I had some time so I was very good and took some time helping her. She promptly forgot everything I said within 2 minutes however. Finally, just when we were set to press the connect button she stated that her husband mentioned that cord was needed to attach the computer to the phone jack. She asked if that was really necessary and said she didn't want to have any more cords. I explained the situation with a straight face. She finally agreed to buy one and call me back. She called the next day. She said that she needed help with the cord because she could not find the computer jack....you got it....she never had a modem.....I am still working with this women because it teaches me to laugh......
