I just signed up for dial up internet services thru bellsouth and when I went to plug the phone line into the back of the computer I realized there is no jack small enough for the phone line to fit. There is a slightly larger jack (which I’m told is for DSL services), but I’m not interested in paying the DSL rates! Is there an adaptor of some sort I can purchase to get dial up services on my computer?
Be nice…if you can’t tell I dont know much of anything about computers!!

I have a friend who lives in a small city of ~30,000 people. The entire city is controlled by a greedy phone company. If you want landline phone service or local internet you must use them. The prices are not competitive. He is paying $20/month for a dial up internet account + $30/month for the stupid phone line to use said account. The phone company will offer him “high speed” DSL internet for ~$80/month (750kup/750kdown) which is not even that fast. There is no option to use Sprint, MCI, AT&T, etc…just his crappy greedy phone company. Is this legal? It’s a total monopoly.

The recent Windows security update I completed for my Windows 98 operating system has left Internet Explorer corrupted in that it now only displays the message, “The page cannot be displayed” Before this update, Internet Explorer was working fine. I am using dial-up Internet service.
