"Aaah! a business account. Sure beats paying a metered rate on a POTS line for dial up!"

Especially if you have three lines to cope with the three PCs that were on the net most of the time. The phone bills were horrendous!

If cable's available in your office or building, I can't think of any reason not to use it for the 'net.

Funny thing: When I called SBC to disconnect those three lines, they asked me why. I told them I no longer needed them since I had a cable modem and router. The woman said that I should get SBC DSL service. What she didn't know was that I had been trying to do that for two years...only to be put off again and again.

The cable? I called one morning to order it. That same day, a crew came in, ran the cable, and helped me set up the router I had bought when I decided to go cable. By 4PM that day, my three PCs were all continuously online. Dynamite!
