By dial-up,are you referring to one that uses your phone line?Please excuse me,I'm almost computer illiterate.I originally had AOL.At the time,I was doing
alot of temp work(mostly for ManPower)If I was on the computer & they called me for a job,they'd get a busy signal & call someone else.Understandable,because they have contracts to fulfill.I switched for just this reason.I was losing too much work.Whoever wanted a satellite,forget it.I
have had many friends,that got them & were very dissatisfied! Irish
