but guess I'll have to come forward to expose my lack of knowledge. Let me
explain what I'm thinking about and then if anyone has any input to send me,
I'd really appreciate it.
I am not technically wanting to start a cybercafe on the scale of most of
you, but I am moving my business in a few weeks to a small community that
has a large resort/RV area. I'm thinking that as a little added income
there is no reason I can't book my computer with travelers when I'm not
using it . I in fact avoid traveling any more because I'm not sure I can
access my mail and business. (don't have a laptop yet). So... here is what
I've discovered so far. If I were paying for computer time I'd want high
speed connection. The local telephone company has just recently been
offering DSL but they are dumber than doorknobs in the office. Here is the
published rates: http://kalama.com/packages/index.htm but at the office
they are saying $60+ to hook up and $60+ per month.
The local cable company is working madly on their lines but the service
won't be available until early summer, with no pricing available yet.
This is the alternative that might be available, does anyone know anything
about this service?
http://www.telocity.com/thome/index.asp They SAY it's available to the door
of my office, and that's about 2 miles from the physical phone office, which
I understand has to be within 3 miles of where you are using the service.
Now, nuts and bolts. What is cyber time going for? I see there is some
cybercafe software available but in the case of one computer w/me on the
premises, would a timer work just as well? Since It's my personal computer
as opposed to a commercial computer I don't want sex surfing.. is there a
way to control this? I don't particularly want kids downloading games
either..how do you control this? What do you do about people opening email
attachments? Please.. jump in here and give me some guidance! If I find
there is an interest I would be willing to take more space and put in a bank
of computers but for now, is this workable?
Blessings, Sharyn
