My brother's Gateway 933mz has AOL 6.0 installed. When online, why doesn't the terminal icons show up on taskbar?

Carl, is there a "DUN" connectoid for AOL? I've never used AOL, but the ISP icon, by right clicking it, configure (under modem), options tab, then check mark the display modem status. This is probably a DUN feature, which AOL doesn't use (?).

Hey Sarge, thanks for coming back to me. I found the "display modem status" and checked it. Probably have to restart to take affect.

Nope - you don't get the modem status with AOL because its a dialer, not direct DUN.

AOL also must affect Hyperterminal because I attempted all the tests and will not connect.
 Carl All this crud because it's "free". |

AOL is free in Europe.
I think, in Europe all ISPs are free- they pay for the phone calls. |

glc, when my bro bought his new Gateway, he gets AOL for a year free. He just has to pay for the hassles.
