Always like when people have miracle solutions. Care to suggest just _one_ that does it for $36 a month? That includes: - Static IP - 384k up - 1.5m down - historically very high reliability - national dial-up account included - 50 meg attachements authorized - mailing list traffic (large number of recipients) I'm all ears?

Thank you.

Thank you. Michel.

Ok so now you hit another problem, what you're saying is that the cablecos are running at such small margin that they are no longer in a position to implement policies like this and fix their smarthost systems? Sounds like this solution has come to a halt on economic grounds. Steve

And THAT is another form of laziness! Why not ask yourself what new opportunities might be opened up by fixing the Internet email architecture so that email can, once again, be a tool for business and for social development? Spending money can be an expense or an investment. It's all in how you look at it. Once your thinking gets trapped in the expense/costcutting mentality you are doomed because you can only cut costs so far. Once you get to zero, there's nowhere else to go. But investment thinking has no limits. How much did CERN invest in Tim Berners Lee's web browsing technology? Where did that lead to? Michael Dillon
