Question, please: we're hearing lots of monthly prices quoted, but I
was wondering what typical startup costs would be like (say, how much
for the hardware for an individual network connection).
Also--why would someone in the first category (Unix professionals,
with net connections at work) want a dial-up connection at home?
What would be wrong with logging into his work account by modem (aside
from intense stuff like FTP)?
