Having been on the FA Coop Board for 7 years, I learned the lesson that it is never worthwhile to start with that premise. First start with the premise of what you need. And then figure out if you can afford to be beggars. A DSL with a host is $50/month. Does a DSL connection meet your needed SLA? What is the speed of page loading that you need? (less than 2 seconds) What is the uptime you need ( more than 95% availablity) That can be achieved on DSL + junko box. So you want the willamette.net services to exceed this and you want to be able to know that they exceed this. % Larry, one more suggestion.
