> Great post! Balanced and posing some important issues. I have four
>questions, no all related.
>1. Will cable modems represent an improvement and elimate the need for
>me to get a high speed port?
>2. What does a high speed port offer beyond my USR 56K VoiceWin modem?
>3. I've run TRACERT but don't know what to do with the info. What can
>you do about it if your route to the data provider's server is going
>through Bangladesh several times?
>4. What is the "Code List" and how does one join?
>
>Thanks for any input.
