i think i do have options in my area, but i think i may be too far from the telco. i'm going to look into it. io'm not sure about spending $40 per month for DSL.
Maybe somebody could provide me with a convincing arguement for why I should get DSL

Actually, maybe it would be a good idea since i'm being forced into getting a second phone line. Oh, that leads me to another question: can two computers use the same DSL line at the same time??
