But when I connect to Aim, it said that your are using an un-secure connection.

Really? I don't know how AIM would know unless it is set to detect a firewall or not. But the security of your connection has nothing to do with whether or not you use broadband or dial-up. If you have a firewall on your computer it doesn't matter if you have cable, T1, or dial-up. The only reason I said dial-up was safer is because the modem is only connected when you dial in to your ISP, most broadband connections are live all the time even when your computer is off.

Can you please check if this number is from san francisco. 335-2412

You're missing the area code so even if I wanted to I couldn't.

415-335-2412 I know 415 is san francisco but when you dial do you have to put in the Area code?

Are you seriously asking this question? You're asking me if a phone number with a San Fransisco area code is a San Fransisco phone number? I think I'm done with this thread for a while. Best of luck.
