Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Howdy, I'm considering VoIP and therefore comparing costs between what I have now (Eatel DSL with phone service, no long distance) and what I could have (Cox with Internet) and then use either Cox's VoIP or Vonage or even Free World Dialup for VoIP. Question: What are the basic costs for Cox Internet access? I assume I need basic cable and then their Internet service, and that they will charge something for installation. I can do the networking and in home setup, so those charges can be saved, and I would use just 1 IP and do NAT on my home network. Thanks, John Hebert __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 50x more storage than other providers! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
