I am in the process of evaluating several alternative systems to
provide local dial up access to the internet.  I have looked at USR
standalones, USR rackmounts, Ascend Max 4000, Microcom, and Multi-Tech
modems.

I have considered Digital Channel Service for my incoming local calls
as well as centrex-type service.  I plan on starting with 24 - 48
modems and grow to 96 by year's end.  My startup budget has ranged
from $80 to $160k.

I have been approached by other service providers who claim that they
can provide a more efficient back room than I can.

I am looking to discuss these and other issues.  My email address is
dleslie@pe.net.  Or let's discuss it here.

Thanks.....
