I have a second phone line (residential hookup) for my business that I own. I
use that phone line when I am dialed up on the internet. I will say that I need
to have my calls rolled over to the other line but I have not done that yet. My
internet connection is through the U of M and has a flexible pay rate. 1st 30
hrs free. Then each additional 30 hours after is $8/30hours. (Alumini).
I finally hooked up my 386 on the network and it works great. A bit slower than
a 486 but with only 8 mgs ram it does what I need. I added a $35 VGA 256 shades
of grey greyscale IBM monitor. So I ended up spending less than $150 for
memory, vga card & monitor, network card, cable and connector. So I was
pleased.
I hope you can check them out PCQuote. They offer a great deal for $75.
