DialUp/DSL/Cable/Satellite

[Sean McMahon]

Sprint broadband is either a wireless or satellite provider that big.  There
uplink is about 56 K and there downlink has the potential to be as fast as a
t1 I've heard.  Gane communications is a wireless provider here it's high
speed. There's also something called Broadcloud for laptops which is a much
lower speed, 28K for the subscription and 56K or more if you buy the
expensive software.  If you're in the middle of nowhere there's always the
option of using a cellphone with a data cable.  Slashdot might have some
good refferences about wireless and Linux.
