We've been discussing high-speed internet phone access via DSL (Digital Subscriber Line). Another consideration when thinking about getting DSL is this: DSL requires a special telephone line be installed and connected directly to your computer*. If you do a lot (or even a little) traveling, you won't have access to your internet connection while on the road. Or will you? A few DSL providers realize this potential handicap, and offer assistance. For example, Earthlink (www.earthlink.com) offers 20 hours free Internet roaming (dialup) service. BellSouth (www.bellsouth.net) DSL service gives you free access to your Email only (no Internet browsing) when on the road. So, if you're considering DSL and you need "roaming access," be sure to ask about it (and make sure you're talking to someone at the company who knows!), and factor in any additional costs you may incur. (Thanks to subscriber P.J. Heller for reminding me of this). (*A little over-simplified, but space is limited here.)
