Dominick and All- I say up front that I don't know any of these internet products but I read repeatedly about data feed charges, poor executions and margin problems from them. When I traded my account, the firm that hosted my trading also had a remote setup. You would dial in directly and get AT Financial broadcasting S&P Comstock data. They had their own custom software interface to point/click an order straight from AT Financial Level 2 Display or NYSE or Amex right to the market. I don't think they charged a fee for data or AT but expect to do business with frequent traders, like more than five trades a day. The downside is no internet on that computer (I assume) and the potential long distance charges, but if you're professional, the superior execution/reliability/market data should be worth it. I have no financial interest in their operation but did like them, and would like to see them prosper. If any of you are interested, email me and I'll put you in touch. -Alex
