back to Dialup

[Nflight]

I know you have turned down the thought of ISDN, but I would look into it as this may be your shining armour! It should be available from anywhere in the US. Unless your further then 20 miles or 100,000 feet from the Central Office. Which I doubt is possible anymore! This would best be looked at from a small ISP or Telephone company as they would have the capability to hook you up and get you running.

Not a single ISP provider in my area lists ISDN as an option for my area and I've searched via internet and phonebook. Worse, only 3 ISPs have a local number for dialup.

Central Illinois turns to open corn and bean fields immediately on te edge of the city. 5 minutes out and your in real farm country.

I know all too well the landscape of central illinois.

I'm currently attending u of i now.

Which campus? My nephew is at Carbondale and my stepson is at the other one near St. louis.

[Kooonsty]

I'm at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Right in the middle of farm land.

My new modem should arrive today and with any luck, I'll have the phone jack behind the computer wired in by this weekend (its there but dead). BOINC projects should be good since they don't require a lot of band width.

One of my many home improvement projects is to rewire all of the phone jacks in the house. There is approx 100 feet of surplus cable dangling or coiled up in the basement and only God knows what sort of electrical connections exist at the moment. Who knows, I might even get a 33.6 connect by the time I'm done
