Thanks.

Well, the broadband options in my general area are these:

1. Line-of-sight tower that involves sending a request-- clicking a link or whatever-- via the phoneline to a server that returns your request from a radio tower. We had a site analysis done and we're not in range, though that may change with another company coming into the area later this summer-- depends upon where they stick their tower.

2. Enhanced phone service (DSL). Some roads here have it, others don't. The phone company's main criterion for laying the appropriate lines is the time it will take them to get a return on their investment on any given road. Ours has a good many Amish and Old Order Mennonite farms that will never have telephones, much less internet, so it's more or less a when-hell-freezes-over scenario.

3. Satelite. We've tossed the idea around, but at present the set-up and equipment costs come in at around $1,000, with a monthly service rate of about $80 (for the 54 MBPS package-- faster than that is more expensive still). Since most of what we do on the net is text-based, the 56k works okay.

The place isn't so fancy, but it suits the level of genteel poverty we've accustomed ourselves to.

Ah, the "revival years"-- Hector and Octa Clark, the Balfa Bros, Iry Lejuene, Rufus Thibodeau. I LOVE that shit! It all comes from the Balfas' appearance at the Newport Folk Festival back then. Suddenly folkies got all Cajun-friendly, but none so much as Chris Strachwitz. He recorded everybody. Check out his record label "Arhoolie"-- it's loaded with stuff you're sure to enjoy.
