I will never understand most of that but it sounds interesting!

ADSL is good for installations under 18,000 feet. The technicians installing it check for bridge taps and remove them if necessary. - Further reading on the comparisons between ADSL and cable: <http://www.zdnet.com/anchordesk/story/story_3939.html> There are over 30,000 posts here on SI where the merits of ADSL and cable have been debated.

Hutch, I am looking into ADSL currently. I live in Michigan and so far the best I have found is $79.95/mo for 768/384. Ameritech is about half that but they don't service my area yet. I have checked with several providers and have found that I am about 9,000 feet away from the central office (according to Covad). It's kind of frustrating right now though. I don't really want to pay $80/mo when I should be paying $40/month but I really need more speed to run Realtick III. I cannot get a cable modem here either. Any thoughts? Leland
