Actually I wish there was a service out there, very cheap like R40 ---
when you collect your mail it would still be 33.6k, so apart from surfing
the web or downloading kernels and packages, it's fine. That would suit
most people I think --- except those who surf in the big way, which must
be the minority.  Personally I find the web overrated!  Although it is
_very_ useful at times, but that's about 2 minutes per month for me...

Again if you wanted to download something, as long as you could do a
nohup ftp, and then dial in the next day, to download at 33.6k,
what's wrong with that!

Just my 0.020001c anyway. 

Regards

Evan
