Garry:
At one office I'm using Signal Online and find it very robust.  Currently
we're using it just for a quote screen and Level II screen (we're testing it's
reliability to see if we can replace a much more expensive Bloomberg terminal
with this Signal terminal).... so far, it's worked pretty well...  keep in
Mind that the reliability will also be affected by: 1) Your telephone
connection (we're using a dedicated ISDN connection) and 2) Your ISP.... we
had to go through 3 ISP's in the greater chicago area to find one that didn't
have frequent crashes.

To answer your second question about supported software platforms.... in my
opinion Signal will have as many or more than any other online vendor.

I should also mention PC Quote, a service with which I've had several years
experience.... It also is Excellent in terms of reliability for basic quotes.
Again, your telephone and ISP connections are going to be very important.
Also, PC Quote is supported by a large number of software vendors.
