But Patrick has a great solution, which I use with my business email. I connect via cable. Pricey, but fast.Patrick and Terry are both right. Go cable. I will never ever go back to dial up. There is no comparison to the speed, the fact that one can always be on line and not have to listen and wait for all those annoying noises and being disconnected if you don't use the internet fast enough according to them - if I want to take a 20 minute break to walk the dogs why should I be disconnected - and the speed and the always being on and the speed...
The speed is not just a luxury thing. I have cable connections at work and at home and I can do so much so much faster than it used to take - got a client in the office I can check records or snare internet or whatever in seconds, always impresses the client (and the boss) and at home, it has saved me endless amounts of time.
