Tom I would beg to differ with you on this last point.  I was given the
"opportunity"
to become a consultant almost three years ago.  Since then I have been VERY
carefull
to maintain my ISP myself,  as I did before with no help from my previous
employer.
When you find yourself going door to door drumming up business you want to
distinguish
yourself from the crowd in any way you can.  The ISP is a perfect way to do
that! IMHO
