better, but still over twice the recommended limit. try:

      Is your business on the Internet?  We can get you there 
      for as low as $14.95 per month without any setup fees!

4 lines, everything's still there. no eye straining borders, centering
(and the universally recognized '-- ') sets it off. it could be done
in block style as well, with left and right side borders without
adding a single additional line of text.

if you wanted a separator rule to spruce it up, just shorten the
slogan to something like: "Commercial Web Sites as low as $14.95, no
setup fees." or leave it as is. i won't even light a BIC under someone
who's .sig reaches 5 lines... (hell, when i bother to use them, some of
mine get that long too.)
