- I have CHEAP Internet access myself. $17.50 a month UNLIMITED/FULL Internet
- access, with a Local 28.8K Connect sight. I can be on 24 Hours a day 7 days a
- week and it would still only cost me 17.50 a month, and No Cost at all for the
- phone call. The thing it I have 1 phone line only. Reading/Writing message
- can take a long time, why tie up the phone line to do that? I Grab my
- messages, Hang up(People can now call me, or I can call out), take care of all
- that, then Log back on, send any replys, and get on the WEB, or FTP, whatever,
- and get off. It's bad enough trying to get a hold of me on my line as it's
- bust all the time, Using THOR to get everything helps greatly, that takes up
- most of my time.
