Looking into it. Might ebay a supported modem ($25 vs $100 for the 
Bellsouth one), and FastAccess.com some DSL.

Question: if you have DSL, do I still need my dialup?

I am paying right now, 26.95 for dialup, "The Works" (extra boxs, 
space, etc) and also a 29.95 domain hosting fee for Artly 
There.com...adding DSL will be a lotta lotta ($45 more after the 
special runs out)

Wondering what is best. Problem is, my current email is tied to my 
dialup.

Thanks Ken
