Susan: Majority of the ISPs have free telephone connections...........Where I live I dont have a free connection either because the closest "connection " is 20 miles away.......so what I did was contact the telephone company and they gave me suggestions and I did order a "call around" for my area code and I pay only a flat fee a month and I can stay on the phone or computer on line for as long as I wish to.........try your telephone company and see what they have to offer.......10 cents a minute adds up fast since one tends to be on line longer than they realize. To restrict yourself to one particular list, you are depriving yourself of a lot of information that is being exchanged on many lists ........do yourself a favor, contact the phone company. The information is too valuable for me NOT to put it on........I received over 63 messages telling me to continue from the lists I monitor........
