I am thinking of changing my isp and would to have a trial run of a
new isp before cancelling the old. Is this possible? If so how would
you set up the second dialup connection?

TIA

Yes, it is possible and several is not uncommon.
Just go to Dial-Up Networking and use "Make New Connection"

Thank you. I was afraid to make a new connection fearing it would
replace my old one. Glad to hear having more than one isp is common.
Again, thanks.

The same way as the first. Standard installations
of the Win98 Dial Up routine allow us to call as many
ISPs as we like, each with its own phone number,
login name and password.
