Yes, my connection is a 31200 bps permanently-up circuit-switched
connection (I wouldn't call it dialup as regular dialups don't get Class C NETs
like I have). I have this service because it is the lowest-priced business
Inet service from WorldCom/UUNET (now called MCI). It had to be a *business*
service from them in order for me to get a Class C NET from them, and it had to
be WorldCom as they were the only ones who just gave it to me without charging
me an extra arm and a leg for it. (Also WorldCom was cheaper than all other
business Inet services, though again I only considered business services as
they are the only ones that give full Class C NETs.) Except for being slow
(but that's fair, you get what you pay for), I'm very satisfied with UUNET and
won't switch.
