DSL is a kind of broadband. So is cable modem, satellite feed, T1, T3 and ISDN. Those are all kinds of broadband, as compared to what is called "dial-up," i.e., connecting to the Internet by telephone modem. Claris Emailer should work with any of them, unless your new supplier requires authenticated SMTP login. Then you'll have to either add Baton Mail to use Claris Emailer, or switch to another email client (such as Outlook Express or Entourage, or some other) that supports authenticated SMTP. Once you have the speed of broadband, it will be hard for you to go back to dial-up speed. Most broadband suppliers do not also provide dial-up service. So if you have a dial-up account that you use now while you travel, then you need to be ready to do any of: 1) give up your ability to dial-up from anywhere, 2) find a broadband supplier that also gives you dialup access, 3) keep both your broadband and dialup access.
