Thanks to Ms. Pierce I need to correct a serious error in my posting about a the video dimming when the modem board is removed. I had it reversed in one sentence - sorry. The video dims *only* when the modem board is *not* plugged in. When the modem board is in place (any slot) the display is completely normal. Connecting the phone line does not affect the display. Sorry for my confused description & thank you Ms. Pierce. Lewis Emerson ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
