I got myself a copy of the proline sfotware at the end of last year for $150
used. I have not set it up because I am afraid of having unholy long distance
phone bills connecting to crash. I have been trying to find a low buck way to
connect but nothing has worked out. I want to know how much I can plan on
spending if I give up and go long distance. If you are in San Diego and spend
$50/month, how much can I expect to spend to connect from Kansas? What speed
modem are you using? I expect the least I would want to use is 9600 bps.

I'm all for it if it won't send me to the poor house
