Bondis (sp?) are still great machines, IMO. (If yer using OS 9.0, you 
should upgrade to 9.1 when you get a chance.)

Uhm... Huh?? ;-) Well, seems like you've been trying a few things. 
I'm sorry but I'm unable to determine from your description whether 
you have dial-up or not. Go to your Control Panels -> Modem, and see 
what it says beside "connect via" and tell me, okay?

Uh, no, I don't think so.

So, while you are looking at this message, what icon is at the far 
right top of your screen? The Internet Explorer icon?

And secondly, what do you do to leave this window, after seeing the message?

Well, I'm a bit baffled by this, and hope that Tee or Eric or Joe 
might lend a hand, but for now, I'll just wait to hear back from you.
