2002-02-23 I also only have a 56 kb/s modem, and where long downloads should bother me, they don't. I have a cousin and friends who often send me pictures. So, while they download, I go and make myself a snack to eat.
My cable company is going to have internet service beginning sometime in the spring. A neighbour told me last week, cable internet service will be available in 5 weeks. So, I'm looking forward to it. I think if you open a parallel yahoo mail account, and use it for the listserver, you won't over load your providers mailbox. Plus, it is HTML friendly. I never heard of internet service via the power supply. Or is it your electric supplier would install a coax line to connect you and everyone else to a local server? I'd be interested in hearing how it works.
