I still haven't checked out the option of dual modems. 

Here's another shot in the arm: it rains down here 8 months out of the
year. Lots. My "line of sight" is going to be largely obstructed during
those months from 2:00 p.m. on when the rains come in.

Two more things have surfaced: 
1. The government (supposedly) has made a deal to buy some new routers
that will give 85,000 lucky souls access to broadband via ADSL. When?
Dunno.
2. I talked to my DirecTV people down here and they said they had a deal
with DirecWay going through for 2004. Maybe, just maybe, I can get in on
that deal. 

So, until it all pans out, I'm going to be checking more into this dual
modem set-up - sounds kinda neat. And, I'll be working, too, on my
wireless deal. Will clouds screw me up?
