Hi Alan, No, I wasn't having any trouble with anything. What caused me to upgrade to SP-6a was a bit of foolishness on my part, and that was simply that my past history with SPs has been so perfect, that I failed to fear them any longer, and wanted whatever was wrong with SP-6 to be fixed. I had become so blase about them, that I no longer backed up the old version for an uninstall. Not a very good reason, I know, and not a very good decision to not allow myself an escape route. :( But before both SP-6a and MSIE 5.01, Pegasus always dialed. For years. Like clockwork. And to tell you the truth, Pegasus didn't stop dialing after SP- 6a was applied the first time. I really blame MSIE 5.01. I can't remember a dial after that went in. What gets me most about this is that I simply cannot find *anything* wrong with the system or network settings anywhere. Yuki ^_^ "Hold No Punches.."
