Guy, sorry to mix you up with your brother Jim. You two look so much alike!
As far as high-speed links, I would definitely look at what the lowest
guaranteed bandwidth is before I would sign up. USWorst is our provider out
here in Colorado, and they offer 256K to 1 Gigabit speeds...though I doubt
if those are guaranteed bandwidths. Anyway, at the moment you have to be
within about 3 miles of their business office or they can't provide you with
an all digital circuit.
We have a pretty good wireless ISP here, + Hughes DirectPC dropped their
prices a few months back. If I was in my own home I would go with one of
them. But am in an apt, they turned me down for running an extra cable for
the wireless, and its looking now like I might move when my lease is up in 3
mos. So I'm stuck with 56K, which is not too bad (ok I lied)!
I looked at PingPlotter and really liked it, just never got around to using
it, so I didn't feel I needed to buy it. So far I'm hack free. I have NAV
5.0 too, and it caught the CIH virus a couple months ago in the AIQ
discussion forum. Although I know I'm not bullet proof, so far I've had no
problems...but the world is definitely a dangerous place these days.
Walter, from the "hacked" site that you provided, it looks to me like the
IntruderAlert site was hacked into...so, why would I want to buy their
software?
Regards,
Dave
