ML>>right, dial return has been around for cable and satelite...
ML>>cable has mostly converted to cable return... satelite return
ML>>is what i speak of above with my comment "total satelite link"...

 JF> Yup..........that's to the tune of 600 bucks now, I believe.

that depends on what satelite services are available in your area and which
one you choose to use...

 JF> DirecPC will be nice and let you pay for it $100 at a time.

that service is called DirectWay... i'm not sure what they charge as their
rate or if they allow servers to be run on the service or even if it is
metered service... however, they purport to provide speeds that rival a
T1... for $100/month at T1 speeds, that's a pretty darned good price, all
things considered...
