It is, temporarily! I finally got all the computers connected in a LAN
and it seems to work very well. Also, I finally got DSL service
(SBCYahoo). I selected SBC because they are my telephone company. I paid
for a technician to come out and install the DSL, using a homerun cable
to the DSL jack. That works really great. No mini-filters on the
telephones. No interference on the phones!

The DSL works great on all the computers and I'm slowly converting
everything on each computer to that service (copying favorites and email
addresses, etc.). The only big issue that I have is the E-Mail on my
OS/2 machine. Here's the status:

1. I cannot log on to the DSL E-Mail account, using Netscape 4.61. It
tells me that my ID/password is wrong

2. I downloaded MR/2 ICE. I can log on to the DSL E-Mail account and
read the mail. However, I cannot send E-Mail from MR/2 ICE
