Well, dedicated 28.8s are running about $75 a month, and in ATL, dialup ISDN with mindspring is the same cost as 28.8s, $20 to $30 unlimited. I have my dedicated ISDN for $150, 56k

The NewYork "link" went to high school with me. The other georgia link, and south carolina went to one college with me, and maryland went to penn state while I was there. The other character, the "old man" of the group, is my father in PA. So, yes, we don't see each other much, so it works out well..<g>
