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

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

I thought with the concept of satellite in one place, it wouldn't be
that difficult to provide service over, shall we say, the continential
US without any trouble..?

What solutions out there are less expensive than DirecWay?  [formerly
Direcpc, you got me there.] :)


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

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

Its not metered, from my readings (and watching) it - saw a special on
DirecTV of all places....
