[lug] SUPERIOR ISP

If all else fails, how about multilink?  What is his current dialup?  If
40K+, then adding more lines and modems will just multiply this at
incremental costs of the lines and access with neglible binding loss.  We
call it poor man's ISDN.

I'm currently running one client on 4*ISDN and latency is 23-25ms.  I
recently installed multilink*2 for a client in Grover (try Mapquest).  She
gets 46.6-48K per channel and is very happy (pro proprietary software
developer/support geek).

Note that 24/7 dedicated connections are more expensive, but it's hard to
beat for price/performance for dial-up access.
