Not at that point yet:( One thing I did not make clear, TDS is both my ISP 
and Phone company. A sprawling independent who bought out the tiny Nelson 
Ballground phone company a few years ago....

Like many others, I will have no choice. Anything neat, nifty, or fun is 
against the terms of service for residential. A business class connection 
will cost far more than dealing with a middle man. Even though my 
experiences with TDS have been mostly positive, I'm still eagerly awaiting 
middle men in the boonies.

Yoo Hoo, Speedfactory, Speakeasy! Were up here between Alltel and the 
Ellijay phone co;-)
