* Why should a Beverly Hills high school get a discount of 20 percent? Can't they afford to pay for ISDN?
Depends on how their telco's tariffs are set up. Here in Indiana, we have a monopoly called "Ameritech" who, out of the kindness of their hearts, charges ***per-minute*** ISDN rates. Expect costs of over $600/month for a permament connection (one line) to the Internet. Beverly Hills High School *might* be able to afford it. Most other places can't. <sigh> Best Regards, Frank Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature. -- Rich Kulawiec <standard disclaimer> The opinions expressed above are of the author and may not necessarily be representative of Fortified Networks Inc.
