If Shawn has a line that can't get to 44-46 kbps, than he is too far out in the country to entertain any hope of landline high-speed. As you mention, wireless will be spotty at best and very expensive.

I would investigate moving to some sort of high speed connection. There are a number of wireless companies out there, however, cost might be prohibitive. I would hazard a guess that the speed you are connecting at with your eMac is the fastest it can do under the circumstances. It will never be worth investing in a USB modem to improve your speed by 2 kilo bits per second. I wish you luck getting into high speed.
