Nite, BBN is the private network that CyBerTrader uses to circumvent using the internet to connect. This would eliminate problems going through your regular ISP and the internet in general. It's supposed to be cheaper than using a fractional T-1 line. But I would get the frame relay instead anyway. Should be better and cheaper, to me. They have local dial-up numbers in various cities, and you can connect through BBN if you are having difficulty any other way. I think their is an hourly charge, though, and you need to be registered through CyBerBroker to use the private network. I personally have not used it, so I cannot comment on how fast it is. Bill
