Dedicated leased line connectivity doesn't come cheap. Carrier 
charges and Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) will eat up your 
disposable income pretty quickly. Switched digital access isn't 
much better. The best solution in todays environment is to ask 
your local Tel. Co. (PTT) about ISDN services. Motorola just 
announced what they're calling the _Bit Surfer_ which is an ISDN 
connection device (Not really a Modem) which will allow you to 
run voice and data together (list price $429). The local Tel Co 
will charge you about $30/month for the privilege.

I'm not a rep of either Motorola or a Tel Co. I just thought the 
info was pertinent given the question.
