yes, the second monitor is an 'extension' of the first. however, you can only have 1 modem per system...you could have a hard-wired t1 line and a modem, but to that, i see no point... for the second screen - if it's black, they need to change (in control panel \| system \| display) the options to 2560 * 768 (i think that's the settings; or 2048 * 768). they also need to have in there a video card which can handle a second monitor. if it's not black, but nothing on it...just take one of the open programs, and "drag" it with your mouse to the second screen.

I'm a little suspicious of AOL in the equation. I have multiple logins to several Internet servers, through one ISDN modem, with no problem - Quote.com at least 2 times, Datek 2 times (two different accounts), IRC Chat, and a News server. Also it might be a system configuration issue. Specifically, I log into Datek multiple times. Each has its own window. Good luck. Regards, Dan.

Exactly..It is just an extension of your first monitor or desktop...move the mouse to far right and there it is on the second monitor. You just open your second account (remember via your ISP not a second phone#) and drag the window to the 2nd monitor. Robert

Apakhabar, As others have said, 2 monitors on a machine is a completely separate issue from what you try to put on them. First, you should be able to drag anything you can drag on one monitor onto the other monitor. If you can't do this much, then the machine is not setup properly for 2 monitors. As for accessing multiple services through one ISP account, there should be no problem whatsoever with 2 or more different web sites. There is however a somewhat subtle issue of accessing 2 different Datek accounts simultaneously. You must access them from different Datek servers. Once you login to one Datek server with one account, that account's userid and password will be used for every other access to that same server until you completely close your web browser and restart it. So, for example, you could access one account via orders2.datek.com and the other through orders3.datek.com. One final and important issue is that if you are accessing your Datek account at some store through their computer, your userid and password is being stored on their computer until they at least restart their browser. So if you walk away without restarting it, they could access your account and wreak all kinds of havoc with your account. I would NEVER access such a sensitive account on a store's computer. Even if the browser is restarted, the pages you have visited are stored in the browser's disk cache. At the VERY LEAST, I would make them shut down the computer and restart it completely. Hey, what if they had some software that saves userids and passwords. It is very dangerous to do such things on a store machine. Forewarned is forearmed.
