Re: [TCLUG:7745] Cable Modems, DSL,

[<skj@visi.com>]

One option would be ISDN.  I believe you can get 128k, however the cost is
pretty high...Sixty something/month for the line(transport), then whatever 
for the ISP charge.  That does not include the setup charges either...

All are welcome to correct me if I'm wrong...

Thanks!
