joe, the AOL story was posted by Scrapps. Guess that is why you posted to him but addressed me.<g> Story is back again: biz.yahoo.com x2/flex/V.90 clients can call ONE AOL number. From the story: Currently, AOL is offering its members two different 56K modem protocols, the x2 modem technology developed by US Robotics and the K56flex technology developed as a joint effort between Lucent and Rockwell. The two standards are not compatible with each other, and have required AOL members to select an AOL access number based on the type of high-speed modem they were using. As a result, AOL access numbers are currently listed as either K56flex or x2. Once the network is upgraded to V.90, users with modems that can achieve higher speeds will be able to do so with any V.90 telephone numbers in the network. o~~~ O
