There's quite a few lists of Chicago area providers- If you have web access,
a page with information on (and links to) the local providers is available at:

		http://www.ripco.com/providers

If you don't already have any internet access, you can call Ripco at 
312-665-0065 and log in as 'info', then select 'D' to download a copy of the
current Chicago providers list, maintained by Randy Smith.

You might want to start by signing up with a system that offers free access
(such as Ripco, see above) first, and use that access to research the options
for a full fledged internet account.

There's also numerous people and companies offering instruction in getting
connected, and some will even make house calls to configure your system.
