Internet Service Provider. They're the guys who you call for 
Internet hookups. Mostly seem to be $19.95/month for unlimited 
on line time.

Oh yeah.... You told me that once when I mentioned the County 
Library having dial in text access. (I thought you were kidding)
You gots to remember that you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Hows about buying a second phone line? My phone bill with all 
the charges and taxes never goes above $18, so it might be 
worth it to you if you really need Internet access. It'd take 
the FIDO transfers off your voice line too. The second pair of 
wires are probably already coming into your house, just need to 
be connected by the phone company.
