Starband filled chapter 11 this week (http://dc.internet.com/news/article.php/1181181). My experiences with Starband deteriorated to the point that I have disconnected the service. If anyone wishes to acquire the equipment for Starband, I can provide a deal ;-) - Marc On Wed, 5 Jun 2002, Jerry

Hi, all. Time to revisit a fairly common topic on here. A friend of mine is moving back to NH (Dublin, to be precise) after a six-year absence. Six years ago, dialup was Where It's At. This is less true, now... especially as she hopes to telecommute to Motorola in Austin. Alas, I've been
