I use Mindspring. I have never seen them down and I connect at 56K. The best part is the great! technical support. Even when it was obvious that another ISP setup had trashed my Dial-Up networking they spent more than an hour working with me to restore it. After spending hours with 'the other service' getting the run around with lots of finger pointing, it was refreshing to get real help from Mindspring tech support. It's also available nights and weekends. Largo

Interesting, I use a dual ISDN line and it works great. They never told me not use ISDN and they were informed. I wonder why they told you that?

I have been thinking about signing up with MB. Sid they give you the reason or logic why not to use a ISDN line? Thanks, Rick

To all, I want to thank all of you that took the time to give me information about the best way to connect on line with MB Trading. I just want to clear up one point. In my original post, I wrote that " I was told not to use an ISDN line at this time." Perhaps I should have elaborated on that comment because it might have caused some confusion. MB Trading didn't tell me that there was anything wrong with using an ISDN line, but they suggested that I go with a standard phone line only because the slight increase in ISDN performance because of their VPN did not justify the substantial increase in phone line charges.
