Ummm...  My ISP is Qwest DSL. (I'd use cox.net if I could.) This worked 
well on the old box, before it started getting flaky. My email account 
with aol.com also worked well then, too. Something went wrong with the 
old setup, which first killed off my Linux IDE hdd.  I replaced the old 
hdd with a SATA unit, which is when I started to have the internet 
hang-ups. I suppose I could buy an IDE drive and try that, but this 
board has native support for SATA. I keep thinking that it _should_ work!:-/

I have no problem with changing my email provider. Do any of you have 
any favorites?
