Sounds like a ringing endorsement to me, Larry. I guess the big question
will be whether they are available in SFV. My guess is 'Yes' (as a Pac Bell
infrastructure sub-lessee, a la Earthlink and others). I doubt the price will
be a decider, but I do want the static IP and a level of Up / Down speed not
less than what I had with Pac Bell. I think EarthLink and Pac Bell allow
you 20 hr.s / month of dialup in their basic package . . . which tends to go
unused anyway, since it is mostly of interest as an emergency fallback.

The one feature that would have been of interest to me in the SBC - Yahoo
pkg. was the 10 - 25 M. of online storage space. The rest of it looked (to me)
like useless window dressing for all the Redmund sheep.
