Re: Off Topic: No DSL or Cable??

["BobR" <bobrabcd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Depending on your symbol quantity needs 56k from certain ISP's may work on
pcquote hyperfeed.  A beta testor for omega was using dtn sat and pcquote
and I asked him about using a 56k line.  At that time he said there were
differences between ISP's and some were better than others for data delivery
via 56K.  He mentioned three, one of which was Earthlink.  Don't recall the
other three.  You can get an almost free 30 day trial of pcquote.  exchange
fees need to be paid.

PCquote has something like 600,000 symbols.  Question is, when it is used
with TS2k, does it function like a "watch list" for only the symbols in the
GS portfolio?

thanks,
bob
