Gad zooks go for the DSL or Cable modem option. Ditch your 52kbps service. I pay $49/mo for my DSL line with Bellsouth. Downloads take seconds. I upgraded my browser it took all of 32 seconds to DL from Microsoft. Especially if you have a second phone line for your internet connection this is a no-brainer. Get your second line yanked drop your ISP like a bad habit and jump to DSL.
