The upstream provider is CerfNET... but I'm actually borrowing the T1 (or at least most of it) from one of their customers. Not sure whether it's available where you are, but rather than either frame or ISDN, you might try to find a provider that offers xDSL.... which looks like THE way to go up-to about T1 speeds. Concentric is beginning to offer it around here with prices (more or less... from memory) like the following (unfortunately, *I* can't sign up yet... they're still two exchanges away from me... but I'm first on the list): 128-384K XDSL $159 512K XDSL $259 1.544M/384K ADSL $399 All of the above presumably INCLUDE the XDSL modem, 32 IP addresses, Primary/Secondary DNS, line charges... Install is, if I remember correctly, less than $750. Don't know (much) about network latency, yet... but it shouldn't be too bad... and XDSL, unlike ADSL provides balanced bandwidth both directions.
