If you expect to run a modem over the long distance service, MAKE SURE IT 
WILL WORK FIRST!!!  I use U.S. Telecom as an alternate long distance
service to AT&T, but 1200 bps just will NOT work with them.  It took
me over a week for them to even admit it.  Finally they told me they
only guaranteed voice quality lines, not data.  Seems they haven't heard
that modems use voice frequencies.  Oh, well, I guess Cliff Robertson is 
right.  I still keep AT&T as my primary service for the modem and I use
U.S.Tel as secondary.  I may even drop that and switch.
