I've seen these work. The weak link
is network load. So, you wait and
wait for an extremely fast burst of
inbound data. Until the cost falls,
I think a 56 Kbps modem, and/or
cable modems, are worth waiting for.
Alternatively, ISDN looks like a
good long-term investment, as the
backbone goes digital. Plus, you
get 3 phone connections on one
twisted pair; now that's worth
looking into. But, catch is that
you need to separately power ISDN
modems, and the phones companies
are obligated by law to provide you
with one 911 line, which they must
power for you, in case of emergencies.
So, get two twisted pairs, at least:
one for the 911 (powered by the
regional) and one for ISDN, with
3 virtual circuits, for a total of
four phones lines. That should make
most people happy, don't you think:
1. private line
2. Internet
3. dedicated fax
4. spare for whatever
(e.g. second private line)
I had a very insightful and long
conversation with a Pac Bell
installer last January, and he
was really keen on ISDN, because
it saved them lots of work too.
He is recommending it to everyone.
My ISP consultant was one of the
design engineers for the Telebit
Trailblazer, and he highly recommends
the Motorola Bitsurfer Pro (ISDN).
Now you know everything I know. :)

Yes, the Internet has a wealth of this
kind of data. Try Alta Vista first;
it is very fast and vast.

When the phone company told me it was
going to take a week to upgrade the
phones, I accepted an invitation to
rest in Texas, where I slept for
3 solid days. I needed to be away
from the mounting pressures. When
I returned, I had a huge Catch-22,
shuttling between an apartment with
no phone (where I waited all day for
the phone installer to arrive) and
the nearest phone booth (the only
place where I could contact my client,
who was facing a virtual death sentence
if he went to jail). When the installer
finally arrived, he was arrogant, obnoxious,
and even threatening when I complained to
his boss about disappearing for 2 hours.
It was terrible. I finally got around
to reading email headings (1500+) that
evening; that's when I found your messages.
They had been backed-up for a solid week.
I apologize for the mixup. It was one
of those black holes in the universe,
for sure.
I was certain - under those cirumstances that we would meet
>up in Vegas some how.
Now with me in Texas, sleeping
round the clock! :)
I even drove through the Phoenix area on the way
>up to Kingman then past the dam and on into Vegas on Tuesday late.
>but I missed you at every turn.
I didn't bother to tell anyone
where I was going. This is now
necessary, because I have been
threatened big time, and more
threats appear to be headed my
way.
In addition to the phone, I sent e-mail
>to you personally from Tuscon (did you get this mail?)
see above.
and indirectly
>through the courtesy of John Edward Burr who was kind enough to receive

>recive e-mail from me indirectly through John?)
Yes, yours were among the 1,500+
inbound email messages waiting
for me when I returned home.
I'm really disapointed
>that we couldn't make contact.
me too. but I did need the sleep,
obviously, or I would have awoken
after the first full day of that
round-the-clock sleeping.
I had two folks with me that would have

There will be another day, God willing.
