The best deal seems to be a frame relay T1 system for $1,200 a month (including USWest fees). As I anticipate it will take some months for the idea to catch on, this figure may be too high for me to bear. I don't think I really need T1 either. A guy from Sun gave me some ideas for other things I could use the system for, but I would still like to get my monthly rate down. My local cable company was purchased by TCI and I know they are making a strong move to expand the services they offer. I have no idea if they plan to offer TCP/IP service, but they might. At least I know it is feasible though. I guess I will give them a call and see what they say. ._ _ _ INTERNET: mshea@math.arizona.edu | | |ichael _>hea COMPUSERVE: 76665,3360
