MCA,
You can bet I looked into DSL. Maybe when pigs can fly... TelCo does not offer DSL in the area. I put in private DSL in to my LAN. I run back-to-back SDSL modems in town but cannot get LDDS circuit to me in the country. Too far from CO.

There may be 802.11 in the future (ISP) but not today. If it became available, I'd have to put up a 75 foot tower to get above the trees. I am looking into putting in my own private wireless to my LAN but still have the tower issue.

Other possibilty is public satellite but that is asymmetric relying still on 26.4 modem for uplink with expensive LD charges.
