Hi, Terry. Here on the west coast, and I don't know how far east that
extends, we have SBC yahoo. This used to be pacific bell. I think they
merged with bell south. They are offering dsl for $1495 per month. I pay 25
to have a faster connection.
With SBC, it's cheaper than dialup to have dsl. I can only hope that other
providers will follow in the coming years.
SBC does have dialup numbers for when you can't be at your dsl connection
so I can dial in from anywhere in the country.

Paul;
What do you use to cover your internet and e-mail connection. I pay about
$30 for phone coverage. I am trying to find out what I need to have access
to internet and e-mail, when I change to an m power. I am trying to deside
if I can handle it or if I just want to keep my e-mail at work. Money is
the big question and who is the best provider?
Thanks.
Terry Powers

Subject: [Braillenote] MPower and email report
Hi, Listers. My wife and I went to visit her mom today in the mountains of
Sonora, California. Needless to say, there was no dsl and I couldn't use my
wife's cell phone to get my mail.
I had to use the modem in the MPower. I was surprised when I was asked for
my user ID and password. I thought I already had that set up in my email
configuration. But after entering the appropriate information, I was even
more surprised not to hear the modem connect and dial as it had in the bn
classic. It did connect, but without any sound.
The email then downloaded very quickly for a 56 k modem. It got those 131
mssages in no time without a pause or break. How great is that?
I don't know why the modem doesn't make a sound any more, but it sure works
well.
Reading email while riding in the car home was a breeze except for the road
bumps<grin>. I got through 246 messages in no time with the bn MPower only
taking a second or two to deleete the message when pressing control 8.
I can happily say that I no longer have a problem using or recommending that
other people use their MPowers to get email.
For those of you who haven't upgraded yet or haven't purchased an MPower
yet, You won't be disappointed with the speed of downloading or deleting
email.
