My wife is a stay at home mom and she landed a job, after 3 years of trying, doing medical transcription for a couple of hospitals which will allow her to work from home. With my health problems it could not have come at a better time. Problem is that since we live so far out in the country we dont have cable or DSL service. So we are having to get ISDN run to the house. It will be connected by the end of next week they say. I was just wondering if anyone else had it or have had it in the past and how good it worked. To make matters worse my current internet service does not support ISDN so I may have to go with AOL. I already tried Earthlink but it attached itself to my computer like a virus and I had to remove it. I may yet be able to find an alternitive to AOL but right now I have a 2 month free trial with them to get used to it just in case. Actually I am on AOL right now. I still have my old Bellsouth internet service also, it only cost $5 a month on the plan we have, because I am not ready to switch all my accounts over until I settle on another ISP.
***UPDATE***- First of all I want to say thank you to everyone for your support and help. I got the ISDN installed and everything is working great so far. I found a Adtran Express 3000 on Ebay and it works great. I also found an ISP called localnet.com that works with ISDN for only $10 a month unlimited usage, no per minute or byte fees. Right now my connection is 115.2 kbps which while not the 128 kbps I could get it is still darn faster than dial up. Hopefully know my wife can start training for her new job and everything will go smooth. Again thank you for all your help and well wishes.
