As someone use to like to say, "You are correct, sir!" Two different vendors, two realtime feeds, one modem, one computer. I had thought it would be a problem, but using a USR X2 56K, then upgrading it to V.90, and now switching to a new USR V.90 modem, it is no trouble at all. I think it probably is more conditional on the amount of RAM you have (you need a ton) and the size of your swap file (95/98) or pagefile (NT). I use NT, and have never tried the two feeds in 95 or 98, but have a feeling it would be more problematic there, 95/98 being as unstable as they are. I'd be interested in knowing if anyone is able to run this way within 95 or 98, and how reliable it is. Len
