        The installation cost is $150 if you don't have network card in your
PC (10baset), or $99 if you already have a card. They'll send two techs:
One to run a newer type of coax from service to your pc (wherever it is in
your
house); and One to install the nic card, and configure the software.
        
        Monthly's here are $39.95 month if you are a current cable subscriber,
(I'm not), or $49.95 month for non-subscribers. I currently pay $24-$30
month to
my ISP, then another $16-18 month for a second phone line... So $49.95
isn't
bad at all. I'll put my page up once I get the modem (it's done via
FrontPage '97,
but has a lot of pictures, etc. etc.. and don't want to get charged extra
dough for
it right now). The next goal would be to have my PC a Web Server... Then I
could really put some stuff up on a page!

        BTW: Who's looking for 5.2 Magnum Exhaust manifolds?? I'd like to sell
        mine.
