What do I need to do to keep two ISP services on the same PC. currently have MSN and want to load my Earthlink account onto the same computer (a Win 98 2nd Edition OS.). My earthlink account (originally mindspring) resides on a p75 computer that is too limiting. I expect to get an update of the earthlink software, but will be surprised if it doesn't screw up my MSN account.

Hiya Paras, there is normally no problem having multiple dial-up ISP accounts on any PC. Unless you have two modems and two phone lines you will of course be unable to use them both at the same time.

Now if one of them was AOL, I'd say there was a problem but MSN & Earthlink should be OK.

paras,

Ya know how you setup a dialer for connection to your ISP? Just create a 2nd one for the 2nd ISP. Use one or the other, depending on which ISP you want to use. But like was said, if you have only one phone line you can only dial-up one ISP at a time...one or the other.

If it ain't broke, break it...then fix it!
