agio - 'puters - No, it doesn't make sense. Basically they don't want you to use your account as a dedicated connection (some people do this). In other words, don't tell them what your doing, just do it. ;) A second monitor wouldn't do anything to your connection speed or phone line. It's one computer w/ two monitors (you wouldn't need a second phone line). Kinda like doubling the size of your present monitor (think of it that way). That's not a network. Whomever gave you that info is an idiot and was probably reading off a script. Bottom line - Yes. For setting up two monitors, you would need an extra monitor, a video card, and an OS that supports it (Win98). Then, you'd be doubling your viewing pleasure. llater, Tony B

agio, I am very surprised that your ISP told you that. I have Earthlink on my phone line and I don't think that the ISP has anything to do with a dual monitor set up. The shared modem also has nothing to do with dual monitors. You need operating system like Win 98, a video card and of course a slot to plug it into and the second monitor. You will not get the same thing on the second monitor. Its like a really big screen and you just move stuff from the first screen to the second. This is NOT a network and I think you were getting a bunch of baloney. I got a 16 meg card for $126 and it works great. Dont get the ISDN line if cable ISP will be available so soon. But you can set up the dual monitors right now. zora
