Compare DSL vendors: AT%26T, Qwest, Covad. (Supposedly Covad "owns" the lines used by the other two, anyway?) At any rate, I need to know, (1) What are the limits on email addresses per transmission: some ISPs limit to as little as 30, to prevent professional spammers. (Our garden group has 200 members, needs monthly newsletter.) (2) What is the limit on an attachment size? (We'd sometimes like to send a photo as large as 1.6M.) (3) How *much* vendor software does one have to run? (We like *our* antivirus and don't want to run *their* Norton.) (4) What about access on-the-road?
No .answers, or runaround, from vendors: I'll ask you all about DSL..?bmw
I would use Yahoo Groups, or Google Groups if you can. They are free and everyone can email and communicate that way.
If you have to use DSL, then Yes, you are subject to their vendor software that they require. If you use Cable Modem, which is faster and slightly more expensive, then you won't need to install any other software that you don't want or need. I recognize that you want to keep your Antivirus software to what you are familiar with and have probably spent good money on.
As for email and limits etc. that is all very different depending on the various DSL vendors which I don't know the details of. I'm sure their web site can assist though.
Good Luck!!
