Trying to get the Missus of my back. . .

Pleas of a dial-up husband.

Published on September 14, 2005 By Stupendous Man In Personal Computing

I have to connect to the internet using dial-up.

I know, I HAVE heard of DSL and Cable. Unfortunately, there is NO WAY I'm gonna pay $50(US) for cable access, and DSL is not available in my area. Plus, how could I justify it to the wife, especially when she's wanting to get out of this apartment and into a house.

Anyway, she often complains about not being able to get through when I'm online. So does anyone know of a GOOD computer call waiting progam I can get that will help to solve this problem? Any and all help appreciated. TIA.
