-=> After drinking his 3rd cup of coffee, Fred replies to Bruce
 FR> One problem with the internet is that I would be tying up my phone
 FR> line for long periods of time, and I can't do that since I have a part
 FR> time business at home.
 BL> My ISDN line costs me about $27/mo base rate, and there is an
 BL> additional $.06 for the first minute and $.04 each after during
 BL> prime hours, and $.03 first / $.01 off prime, for every call I
 BL> make from here.  I get 200 mins/mo FREE on wknds and holidays.
That is too much money for me to spend.  I work part time at home only
on an "as needed" basis.  It's either "feast or famine" with the part
time work.   Of course, if I had several part time clients, I would
consider an ISDN line.
 BL> What exactly are you doing online when this conflicting
 BL> time occurs ?
Well, if I had internet access, I would be on line a large part of the
day, and my part time employer would not be able to phone me.
Best regards,
Fred
