Boy, I feel luckier every day.  Living out in the boonies :) does have it's
advantages.  I've got dedicated dial up for $60 a month + phone line cost.
I could get ISDN for $180 a month, but that was too expensive.  I've been
told that residential DSL will be $40 when it's available, but I haven't got
the price for business DSL. I'm told it will be comparable to the dedicated
dial-up cost.

One thing you must understand is that we are *not* SWBell out here.  We have
our own phone com
past they've sold intert access at cost, because they get discounts on
their T3's based on usage, and the loss due to internet is more than made up
by the additional profit they make on long distance. Whether this situation
will remain with DSL is unknown.
