Considering DSL is $50/month and usually has an install fee of about $100-200, and cable modems are similarly priced, I think a lot of people would be happy to pay the extra up front for the long-term savings. T1s also have symmetric upload/download speeds, something DSL can't claim unless you pay a LOT more for it ($150/month or so). -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> Software Archive <ftp://download:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//Users/thepickl/Sites/Archive/> <http://www.members.jmug.org/%7Ethepickl/archive/> _________________________________________________________________ -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
