I've heard about the problems with AOL V 5.0 and the possibility that it
blocks other ISP's.
A friend tried to install Netzero (Free ISP) software on a computer this
weekend. He had just loaded the free trial version of AOL 5.x (whatever
version they are sending out now) prior to the Netzero install. The AOL
dialed out ok.
When he tried to dial out using Netzero, he got the message "No dial tone,
no modem detected" error message. He checked the DUN settings for Netzero
under properties and found that the modem type and port were the same as
for AOL and were correct. Un-installing and re-installing Netzero didn't
help.
Has anyone else seen this type of a problem and specifically could it be
related to the (alleged) AOL problem?
TIA
