I called Ameritech and asked what central office I'm in and got a list of telephone prefixes for that office. Using an ISP list (http://thelist.com) I couls then find two ISPs using the same office. I also asked for the "dry circuit". I got to the special services division that sells analog leased lines. These lines are called 3002. I can get 2-wire or 4-wire ones and they would cost $350 install and $32 - $36 / month. They said these lines do not have any signalling and probably is what is meant by "dry circuit". Is this true? After checking http://www.pairgain.com I found many references to HDSL but none to ADSL. Would I use ADSL or HDSL modems? Is anyone on this list using this kind of setup? Jonas
