Guys, clarification time. DSL is Digital Subscriber Loop , there are different versions for different applications , the main residential version is ADSL= async DSL. This is an ingenious way of transmitting up to 4Mb/s one way and 640 k the other way over a regular telephone line instead of using a 56k modem- and use the phone at the same time! It is like the invention of colour TV or video machines or CD's ,it will truly transform how we get our bandwith to the home. The main functions are ISP access or ATM access to your office LAN. We pay US$25 for unlimited ISP use with residential ADSL included, which is turned down to 1.5 MBS. It is incredible. Local content appears with the blink of an eye.
The pager service Ken has ,is what I would call e-paging , It is notification to your pager ( pref an alpha message pager) of a specific occurrance. There are two versions - one is PC based, and could be say, when AOL gets to $100 page me, or it could be ISP based eg , when an e-mail comes in send me the first line on my alpha pager. I have made some big$ on that one, I get an e-page from spam picks , it shows the symbol, I call my broker, buy it quicker than most -and sell at the end of the day :-)
Aint technology great!
