voop, I can access any ISP home page through my @Home cable via Comcast. I have configured on my desktop four portals, @Home via NSCP, @Home via IE, MSN via IE and AOL via NSCP. It allows me to try 4 different systems. You can easily change your address by going into Internet Options on the computer. I love cable. I had AOL and MSN before but went to cable for the speed. However it is ~ $400/year and I don't know that you'll have too many folks wanting to spend that much. Lower end market with 56K ISP may be all that a lot of people need since a LARGE No of people use the PC for e-mailing or chatting etc were speed is not that essential. I bought AOL stock for it's overall value and potential. I believe braodband will be resolved. And that day AOL may go up 15 -20 points, GG, TA
