This is WAYYYY ot for this list so I'll stop at this one unless someone wants to move this to a better list.
First, Thanks! It was fun to write. Just been too dang busy lately.... Second, I still do dial-up. I get $30 per month or $75 per quarter. Don't take much to make money. And there are CHEAPER providers here. It's not all about money, service and reliability are important too. You should all have some kind of dialup system in place for backup if nothing else. There are national programs available for as little as $4 per month per port. I pay $7 per port for a system that gives me access to 3000 numbers outside my area. If anyone wants a few ports here and there let me know. How's $10 per port per month sound? Onsey Twosey's, no minimums like I have to pay. Use it for customers or backup, what ever..... We're not doing it yet, but we'll be charging $10 for a backup dialup account. Maybe more. laters, Marlon (509) 982-2181 (408) 907-6910 (Vonage) 42846865 (icq) 64.146.146.12 (net meeting) www.odessaoffice.com/wireless www.odessaoffice.com/marlon/cam ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 12, 2003 8:14 AM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] OT Wiseguy > The congrats was on getting published.
