Thanks, Bruce. But I don't believe Verizon offers DSL in my area of
upstate New York. When I run my phone number past the verizon website
it always tells me no can do.

The only non-dialup alternative I know of is either Time Warner
RoadRunner or Earthlink. (I believe Earthlink uses Time Warner's
cables.) Both of them offer a "cheap" 768 x 128 Kbps plan but it's
$30/mo. My friend cannot afford the extra $240 a year. Oh, well.
