Question With a single phone line and an ISP that uses the phone line, is there any way that I can be sure not to miss incoming phone calls while on-line?

Answer Ed, you can use DSL from your telephone company, or subscribe to a dial up internet telephone answering service, if you have call waiting/call forwarding service available to you. There are many services like these available along the lines of: call wave, to name one. Also if you have voice mail, it should take care of your needs while you are on line. Spencer
