This is 144K IDSL, and we also have it available.  You think 
$100/month is too much for a dedicated connection to the Internet?  I 
think we've all gotten a little spoiled and overly cost-sensitive.

I don't know what your time is worth, but assume you use a modem to 
log in 2 times a day, so 60 times a month, and it takes one minute 
each time for your stupid modem to negotiate.

You just spent one hour of $$.

Not sure what you're paying yourself per hour these days, but I know 
what I get :)  $100 or $130/month is a clean breakeven or better 
anytime for the typical knowledge professional (with loaded 
overhead).

And I don't know about you, but my leisure time is worth even more 
than job time.

We haven't even factored in modem speed v. DSL speed issues here. 
That just blows the decision on whether to spend for DSL out of the 
water.

Look for an announcement regarding new DSL services soon from PkPk.</plug>
