I can't argue with what you said above.  What I disagreed with is the 
assumption made in the original message that the only way to obtain 56K (or 
is that 52k/53k3 ) access is via an ISP.  As for providing access to the 
web via a BBS, thanks but no thanks -- let those who want to use the web get 
a direct connection via an ISP and spare me the headaches not to mention the 
cost of a dedicated line to the ISP.
