actually in our area in NJ, its the best you can do, so ISP's gouge us for
static dedicated dialups, its still less than ISDN (due to surcharges) and
less than a frame relay, its close to 200 a month. it sucks, but we deal,
and when I move I'll have dsl. I'll deliberately move into an area with
dsl =)
