mike, I now posting using a DSL broadband connection. A confluence of events led me to try dsl. I still have my cable moden with Charter Pipeline that uses earthlink as my isp. The dsl is from snet a part of SBC with snet.net being the isp. One event was a friend has tried dsl and it did not work. He gave me his dsl modem and kit. So the current SBC deal gives me 6 month for 29.99 then 39.99 and I also get a 150 gift credit. Also my son had cable for a while and used a linksys router switch to control his cable modem. My son moved and gave me the linksys cable router. This is a slick little box and it make connecting as many PCs to the internet trivial. I can now switch my entire network between the charter pipeline cable modem and the snet dsl in two minutes or less. The simplicity is amazing. The cable comes to 50 plus bucks or so. dsl is also 1.2 to 1.5 megabits and the cable is 512k bits. So for a little less money I get 2.5 times the access. Over the next month I am going to test out the dsl fully and decide if it is faster and has the equivalent uptime. On the downside I have several hundred web pages that may need different email addresses. LOL tom watson tosiwmee
