Thanks for describing to us the shit that it truly is.  We are thinking
about moving to a small town and I just learned that the telephone
company provides DSL service but I was wondering if I would have trouble
as you so wonderfully described Ann.  But it seems there has got to be
someway that all this shit can be bypassed so we can get to the milk.  Any
ideas out there folks?
