First of all...  you are damn lucky to be able to get DSL...  The local phone
company
here (Bell Atlantic) does not even offer it in my area nor do they have any
plans on
the books to offer it....   Add that to a crapy phone line where a 26K
connection is
GREAT and you can see why I feel you are one lucky guy...

Anyway... I hate to tell you this get AOHell  for a month or so...you can
have
about 5 members on one account I think ( I do not use AOL so I am only
guessing) ...Cancel after you get the DSL line ...

20 bucks to make the whiz kid happy is not a bad deal...
