Karen,
Since over 70% of all accidents occur within 5 miles of home, I suggest you
MOVE... SOON.
And then you could avoid those accidents and be in an area served by DSL. <vbg>

You didn't specify where you were located, or te amount of traffic, but one
consideration would be to have your machine located at either your ISP's
location, or some other site that is served by DSL (such as my office in
Houston).

You could access it thru the net, and you might use remote ops console for times
you need a console.

Another possibility would be shotgun technology. This binds two modems on two
phone lines, resulting in about 100k connection. In Houston, we also have
wireless technology available at near DSL speeds, from a company called
Accelernet. It is limited to about 35 miles, line of sight, from their tower.

I am curious as to how "new" the neighborhood is. In my area, new neighborhoods
are built with DSL capability. Old neighborhoods often have DSL, because of
necessary maintenance in older areas. the in-betweeners have phone equipment 
that
gets the job done, yet is not quite unreliable enough to warrant replacing.
