    CNN is IMO already biased. Last night they had a section on Digital Music and Copyright and only presented the view of one "Entertainment" Lawyer who said that all copying of CD's was against the law, as if it were fact,and He failed to mention Fair Use. When the bottom line of the newschannel is run by a record lable such as AOLTime Warner what can you expect?

    640k. Ok, so technically it's not SDSL, it's RADSL, however the rate is semetric (640k bi directional). The particular deal I have is from Qwest. It's like $50/month for the 640k line, $45/month for the net access and $15/month for the block of IPs.

    Oh, and don't ask me what makes it professional, I'm not sure. Near as I can tell, it's that they let you run servers and don't bitch about it.
