I recommend ISDN if you can get it. There's a big difference here in NY between an ISDN connection and a 56K modem connection. The old phone lines around here stink - you rarely get anything over 33k with an analog modem. I'm running ISDN at the house and use it to connect to the office system - we have a dedicated internet connection there. The cost is pretty minimal, 10 bucks a month, 3 cents to originate a call and 1 cent per additional minute. Of course I don't have to pay an ISP so the line and connection charges are my only costs. If you're networking several machines you might also want to check out a proxy server for sharing a single connection. I'm using the 3 user version of wingate here. It has an internal cache so it flies, even with all three machines on the net. The other day we had mytrack running on one machine, Datek on the other and godzilla.com on the kids machine, all simultaneously. Any win 95 (or higher) machine on your net can run the gateway and all computers, including macs can access it. Now back to the Yankees - 5 zip bottom of the fifth! Jay Ray
