I have CHEAP Internet access myself.  $17.50 a month UNLIMITED/FULL Internet
access, with a Local 28.8K Connect sight.  I can be on 24 Hours a day 7 days a
week and it would still only cost me 17.50 a month, and No Cost at all for the
phone call.  The thing it I have 1 phone line only.  Reading/Writing message
can take a long time, why tie up the phone line to do that?  I Grab my
messages, Hang up(People can now call me, or I can call out), take care of all
that, then Log back on, send any replys, and get on the WEB, or FTP, whatever,
and get off.  It's bad enough trying to get a hold of me on my line as it's
bust all the time, Using THOR to get everything helps greatly, that takes up
most of my time.
