Actually, that's a real good suggestion that's quite easy to implement. My home and office are located 3 blocks apart, and I lease a 'dry pair' from the phone company and run a private DSL circuit over it. I get 2.33 mb/s over the link, and the cost of the modems were $150 US each. I saved enough on DSL charges by not having to subscribe at both locations to more than pay for the modems. --dwh --- Dale W Hodge - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vice Chairman & Secretary - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Air Capital Linux User's Group (ACLUG) --- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
