LOL,
ok Will, I have to gloat a little. My connection to the net is via Motorola 
Canopy wireless data radios. On the far end I connect to a NewEdge T1. I 
have a static IP or 20 to play with... I am pretty happy.
I don't have a TOS because I am the installer for Outback Wireless A.k.A 
Blue Ocean Communications.

I trust my connect so much that I told rip off Verizon where to stick it 
and went with Vonage.
