This message is going out to all Zipcon Subscribers.

  The new USR/3Com modem rack is FINALLY online.  After about a two week
delay, the lines are in and working.  The number to use is 206-336-1700.
If you are having any trouble with connectivity to Zipcon modems, please
give this number a try.  These modems support V.90 and x2.

  If you are using Windows 95 or 98, you can change the number you dial
by going into "My Computer", then "Dial-up Networking".  Right mouse
click on the Zipcon icon and select "Properties".  A window should
appear that will allow you to change the phone number to 336-1700.

  DSL is also available now, the info is online at
http://www.zipcon.net/dsl.html.  DSL offers an always online, fast
connection.  No dialing at all, it's always connected.  DSL pricing
is based on a DSL line price and the Internet connectivity price.  You
need to purchase the DSL line itself, and pay the monthly fee for the
line, then purchase Internet over that DSL line.  Zipcon is supporting
DSL connectivity through Covad and US West.  If you use US West DSL,
they charge independently for the DSL line, that charge goes directly
to them.  The Internet access charge is a separate bill that would be
from Zipcon.

  Covad DSL is billed in one package, directly from Zipcon.  You would
only receive a single bill (for both the line and the Internet service).
Covad usually has a much faster installation time.  My experience with
US West DSL is that it can take months to install, while Covad can
usually do an installation in about 30 days.  Zipcon does not yet
support GTE DSL.

  Please let me know if you have any questions or problems.  Thanks
for using Zipcon!  Dan
