When i try to sign on to america online, i get the error message: Remote access service error: Error_State_Machines_Not_Started. What is causing this??? (I have windows 98, a lucent V.90 modem with updated drivers, my port settings are correct, and no other programs are using the modem).

Hi,

Please try to check you dial-up connection if you are dialing the right number to connect on aol. You must connect to the aol server or isp properly to attain a successful connection. Hope this help a bit.

Cheers,

go to AOl setup and select a different access number. AOL is bad about shutting down multiple ISP sites for repair at the same time.
