I am wrong in thinking that ADSL is a permanent connection to the net.
I thought is was similar to a constant connection like a T1. I am getting
an ADSL connection with
UUNET and would appreciate someone shining some light into my darkness.
I must be obviously wrong. The UUNET salesman has given me some wrong
information.
