I have hi speed cable and I bought a router and connected my two computers
(upstairs and downstairs) via a run of lan line.

Another solution is to connect to a local VHF Packet Cluster. Check with
DXers in your area for a VHF packet cluster in your area.
U will need a VHF radio, a TNC, and a dumb terminal or computer.
Computer speed is not important for either method and any of the older desk
or laptops will work fine.

Thank you, however, I do not have internet access upstairs. Only a phone
line. Is there a way to access via phone or is that too much to ask? I
don't have aol or anything, just broadband in one spot in the house and my
shack is upstairs.

Thanks again

10M is pretty grim now as we are on the down slide of the solar cycle --
but
some openings are still occurring as you will see when you connect to a
packet cluster via telnet.
