Karen,

You don't need any of that crap.  Just hook your PC up to the cable modem
and go.  Or better, hook a router up to the cable modem and then hook all
your pcs up to that.  Buy a domain name for $15 / year (less if you get
several years at a time).  Then get a web site ($7 / month or so for the
cheapies).  That gives you X email addresses -
kNicholson at NicholsonConsulting.com.  You can usually set up FTP to / from
your site for sending big stuff to clients.

Definitely worth the small expense.  I have owned ColbyConsulting.com for
many years now and my email never changes (with proper precautions to
prevent spam of course).

OK.  This is what the #1 in resources woman has been able to do.  My problem
was when I put in the Adelphia CD to hook up through the cable modem, I
needed a password to activate the connection.  What I didn't realize is that
I don't have to use the username and password that is coming in on that
connection.  Solution:  Found a person willing to give me his name and
password.  Then set up a new account, as Adelphia allows 7 addresses.
Hahahah!!!  Always a way.  Gives me something to do in my spare time. :)

Is there any other way to get internet access besides dial up, cable modem
or phone internet service?  I am trying to work using dial-up and
it is impossible as one can imagine.   The person holding the account
will not give me the password to set up the cable connection, nor can I add
the phone feature?  Great roomates, huh?  Any ideas?
