ISP

[ken_gosier at yahoo.com (Ken Gosier)]

I had asked about gis as an ISP. I wound up using both 110
and Earthlink, at least for now. 110 is very cheap, but a
bit more sluggish. Seems like they have a slow DNS machine,
b/c Netscape displays the 'Looking up host' message much
longer than on Earthlink. With Earthlink, I've had no
problems. No busies, most always the same speed. (Which is
slow, b/c it's 56K, but hey, that's not their fault. :)
It's fast as far as 56K goes.)
