even a 200 pentium will process faster than a 100kb nic card. DSL is DSL have a 64kb fractional T1 potentially available but we would lose "CONTROL" which you have given us. Let me make a few noises here and there but since you have the "setup" cost out how much fractional T1 there would cost, post quotes and I am sure that we could "as a crew" afford to come up with the nut for a while. That we way us'n'all can keep control without the whims and vigours of employers.
thanx,
