I'm writing for my dad, who is having a hard time getting his money's worth 
from AOL. He's been on AOL for several years and paid for it under the "one 
year" plan. Now he's having trouble with it.
He has a 486 system with a 33.6 modem, Windows 3.11. He has the AOL software 
installed and also MS Internet Explorer...not sure if it's 3.0 or 4.0 now, 
but he's tried both and has the same trouble with both. The problem? He tries 
to get on the web and very seldom is successful in staying on it. He seems to 
always get dumped off.
He wants to surf the web and it's frustrating to start to do so and then get 
dumped. FWIW, I have a similar MB/chip, Windows 3.1 (no 3.11), MS IE 3.0 and 
a slower modem, and in a year of my husband's use of AT&T WorldNet and now my 
new ISP, we haven't gotten dumped but once.
Anyone ever had a similar problem? How did you resolve it?
