We have remote people, so we have dialups (and WAN access). Some of the
people where I work use it at night, but we only provide work email (on
notes, so it's evil). Some of them have the free email accounts and run
that way. The way to keep everyone from sitting there all night is slow
modems. Sometimes someone will sit there for hours downloading, but if
they surf enough, they buy their own faster access. If you don't have
people that need to connect for work related stuff, setting up decent
access as a benny would be nice. Leave the email to the free services,
just provide web/ftp access out.
