Now we're getting into the fuzzy areas ... it depends on
what you think "internet" means.  I would include modem
connections.  Some may say "if you have an IP address, even
if briefly over a modem" -- which gets many modem
connections, if they use SLIP or PPP or POP.  (Mine, for
one.)  Some may say "permanent IP address and connection to
the net", which would exclude my home machine.

Wait.  Where did the Middle Ages go?  Sorry.
