Rudedog - I don't think you want to tell that to the boys on the Dell thread, they are singing the praises of this 'brilliant' move on Dell's part, as if they invented it!!!! John <ggg> PS - I have the feeling most of them don't even realize how limited ADSL service is, and what it costs. I posted Bell Atlantic's pricing on that thread earlier today. By the way, you had mentioned a couple months back that you were playing with ADSL at home, how has it gone? Also, I was reading about Bell Atlantic's implementation on their home page, and they say the service will be tied to the computer it is installed on. That does not sound very appetizing to me, as I would want to simply be able to plug in just like current POTS service. Is that how yours works???
