UUNET sounds like a no-brainer in your situation since you have a back-up ISP anyways--nice find. You shouldn't need it, though, when you get your hi-speed hookup, although it probably would be good to keep as a backup. You may want to look into dual monitors as that would save a phone line. I haven't tried them yet, though (dual monitors).

Rick, when I mentioned DNAI, that is a local ISP which uses UUNET and AboveNet as their primary carriers. THey charge $25/month, 150 hours plus $0.50/hour (per B-channel) for excess. When going directly to UUNET, the extra hours get expensive. When UUNET gets busy, they still have a secondary T3 outlet: DNAI is currently multi-homed, with redundant connections to the Internet via UUNet, AboveNet, and Best. We have T3 connections to UUNet and AboveNet, and aggregated dual T1s to Best.
