Thanks for the quick responses. That was a lot of good information. I do need some out-of-Canada service so 711 looks to be out. Knowing that many of the others are off-shoots of Bell (I worked for them many decades ago - a fresh young programmer just out of school) I might give them a good look. Maybe their Solo service will work well for us. -- An old mainframer getting current!
