Speaking as an employee of an internet company, I can say that there is no possible way that CLUG could make a go of it in the ISP game. There's simply too much competition for too small a market in the dialup game and the high speed game has a very high break even mark and a high entry cost. And this is after a significant whittling down of the number of ISP types in Calgary. -- William Astle finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for further information Geek Code V3.12: GCS/M/S d- s+:+ !a C++ UL++++$ P++ L+++ !E W++ !N w--- !O !M PS PE V-- Y+ PGP t+@ 5++ X !R tv+@ b+++@ !DI D?
