I'm in an unusual position this year.  We've just moved to a new home, 
and one of the things I wanted to do for my family was DSL.  Turns out no 
one can get it here by Christmas.  I'm now in the bind of having a new 
computer for my kids, no online connection, and a whiz kid in the family 
who's already looking forward to the arduous process of reloading all his 
software, copying his files, and just generally making this new machine 
run like a hot rod -- on DSL!

Is there a last minute fix for this?  Anybody know of a secret way to get 
DSL faster?  And if I just have to set up a regular email account, who's 
considered a great ISP right now?   We use mindspring at work, but I 
don't know how prices compare for the others.

Thanks.
Dave
