still waiting for Dsl to come out my way part of the trade off living out in the country, but i'll take the quite living and clear skies in the country any day.

I agree with you completely. I have a unique situation in that I have the clear skies and quiet but have cable access. The cable structure here is still all copper. The local cable firm is upgrading to fiber and they tell me that should be complete late this fal. I am not all that excited about their upgrading because they clearly plan on selling the service to the public. This will increase demand on their server, the T3 to which it is connected. This experimental system that they limited to 22 users in the entire network is really snappy even though on copper. That is because there is not much traffic. The only plus I can see is cable access directly in my store down here. They will not open any new accounts (even for me VVBG) until the upgrade is completed. That one store is all about 3000 ft too far from the switching station for DSL I can't stand using the dial-up there.

The store in Erie is handling all fulfillment and much of the listing, email, etc. for Ebay. That has DSL and I need to add two more works stations to connect to the router for other employees.

The Ebay scale rate is a bit overwhemling. I am trying to figure a good method to hire people to handle fuflillment for the fall but that do not have access to the inventory in general. They would only have access to the item they are packaging to ship. The challenge is fun.
