They have DSL and you have AOL? xD

Oh, man, must be painful going to your computer after that. That said, it's called a home network. Look into it. How close are the computers, how much are you willing to pay (one time cost for equipment, not a subscription)

Oh, SBC Yahoo also has a dialup. Erm, is it that? I wouldn't share that connection, no.

...if so, you have two outgoing lines that you use for internet?
Definitely not DSL, dialup. We have one phoneline we use for the internet, and another phoneline for our actual telephone. I'm gonna use the line that we use for our telephone.

If you have two seperate phone lines, you might as well bug your parents to pay the extra $15/month(this is only considering the phone lines - not the cost of the ISPs) and get cable.
As much as I would try, it wouldn't work.. My family are not up to par with anything technological. For years up until a couple months ago, they refused to let us wire cable to more than one room in the house. We told them it would be so easy to wire it ourselves, and they wouldn't budge. Now, the only reason we have cable in other rooms is because they called the cable company. As for the computer, this computer is about to die but they refuse to do anything about it. Its a Compaq (;___, and its been around for about 6+ years. 10GB harddrive, crappy dialup connection, and as many problems with it as you can imagine. They refuse to get anything better because they feel that this one still works fine (it doesn't.) Even if they do get a new one, they're gonna buy an overpriced one from Best Buy, when IMO it would be cheaper to build a computer (thats how I built mine, and mine is a better computer). They would rather rely on being able to get a warranty from Best Buy and customer support (when really, and problem they have had with this computer I had been able to solve anyways, but they just called Best Buy up regardless because they don't trust me). Thus, this crappy computer and my crappy situation.
