Gerald, Re: I said that DSL is a fraction of the speed of cable, and for comparably priced service it is. That may be true in US but not Canada. ADSL in Canada is 4M/512k which is comparable to Cable and only cost CDN$10 more per month but you don't have share it with anyone and don't have to go through any proxy servers. Gary

Re: "DSL is a fraction of the speed of cable, and for comparably priced service it is." Yes, the statement is not a universal fact. - No speed degradation? - No comparing the (unguaranteed) max cable speed to guaranteed min DSL? - Free webhosting? - No restriction of web content programs to the cable's? - Ability to connect phone & PC to one line? - No limited video streaming too? - Comparable package? I'd recommend, "DSL may be in some cases" instead of "DSL is." I noticed you worked on the Boeing 747-400 too. I was working on this software project as an undergrad - the flight simulation controls; take off and landing. One time, someone asked me on a plane what I do for a living (during takeoff too.) Amy J
