Thought about it but I can't justify it. Work would only pay for the amount of bandwidth I need to fix stuff from home. I wanted a 2nd way in besides dial-up (in case there was a problem with that) so I opted to get DSL as well. The 640k down speeds that I'm seeing now that US-West has lifted the rate limiting at the DSLAM's is far more than enough. I can't imagine what I'd do with a full T-1's worth of bandwidth coming in here...I might have enough incentive to start my own ISP! Apparently Mr. Horwath can justify the need for a frame at his house, or so I hear. :) Incidentally, Steve Ulrich's last day was Friday. That explains why there was blood running from the faucet this morning. Adam Maloney Systems Administrator Sihope Communications On Sat, 5 Aug 2000, Thomas T.
