Dave,
Thanks muchly. The problem is not the connection but the fact that the
2000Pro wizard only admits to dial-up accounts. The XP wizard for
example is far more liberal with choice of accounts and allows DSL.
How can I convince 2000Pro to allow DSL connections. Am I the only one
in the world with 2000Pro and ADSL?
