    I've been doing some reading about the DUN connections for AOL---and am really used to IE's connection showing me the 2 little monitors down in the tray --so that if I don't have a fast enough connection ---I can simply disconnect and try again . But with AOL---unless I'm watching when it connects ---I miss the connection speed and that kinda ***** ----Does anyone have a clue on the registry tweak for this !!!:rolleyes:

    Seems like if your Right click on the AOL thingie in the systray you have a configuration type option that will show the connection rate.

    Don't think it is possible with Aol's dial up adapter and their DUN.

    Ok ---Thanks man !!

    Thabks ----thats the impression that I'm getting too. But I'm still gonna keep digging. I figure that if there is a string to get the tray Dial up adapter to show up for IE, Then I should be able to add one for aol's adapter also ----I could be wrong ---but I'm gonna go until I figure out otherwise . ----Thanks .
