My parents still have pulse. A damn pain when trying to install earthlink
for them, let me tell you. Only 1 line and pulse... Fortunately, I had to my
cell and could track down someone who could give me their dns numbers...
Also fortunately I knew how to set it all up by hand as the cd is set for
tone only and there was no way around it...

Imagine the annoyance when getting sent to voicemail or the infamous 'press
1 to continue'....
