Here's a breakdown of the phone charges: Basic Services (line 1): .18 2-Line custom choice: 39.95 Basic Services (line 2): .18 Qwest Chioce DSL-DLX: 28.00 Qwest.net Basic-DSL 9.95 (No e-mail, no webpage. Just connection) Static IP-Block of 8 14.95 [Misc. Fed/state fees] 19.35 Long distance charges: 22.19 Total: 134.79 I could save money by going down to a single phone line, and by switching to DHCP instead of static IP's. Look into Qwest's "Basic-DSL". It'll save you some money. Personally, I haven't had more than a handfull of problems with Qwest. -- -Shawn -Nemo me impune lacessit.
