Question

I currently have a DSL connection to my ISP. Under the Network/Configuration tab I have the following adapters and protocals installed.

Adapters:
AOL Adapter
AOL Dial Up Adapter
Dial Up Adapter
Intel(R) Pro/DSL 2100 Modem-PPP

Protocals:
NDISWAN-Intel(R) Pro/DSL 2100 Modem
TCP/IP-AOL Adapter
TCP/IP-AOL Dial Up Adapter
TCP/IP-Dial Up Adapter

My question is, do I need all of these protocals and adapters installed or only the Intel DSL modem and associated protocal? I do access AOL through my ISP but I'm thinking that since it's through my DSL connection that I wouldn't need all of the AOL Adapters and TCP/IP-AOL *** stuff. The only adapter I'm using is the Intel DSL modem which is bound only to the NDISWAN protocal. Am I creating a bunch of unneeded overhead here as far as my connection is concerned or would that only be the case if my Intel adapter was bound to more than one protocal?

Thanks!

I think that I would leave that alone - for risk of causing problems with either AOL or your DSL connection or both. In this case, "if it ain't broke don't fix it" would be my approach.
