Which is still better than I've been able to manage: in the years I've owned my house, I've checked with Qwest every six months or so to find out if they've /finally/ got DSL available. The answer has always been no. Now, if I were somewhere west of the lake, I could imagine a valid excuse for that, but in a neighborhood near BYU, it just doesn't compute. Comcast did somewhat better, although they also had their share of problems. For one, Comcast was the reason I finally gave in and started running my own DNS server at home. They also stopped offering static IP addresses (their predecessor, [EMAIL PROTECTED], did offer them). I finally ended up getting an iProvo connection when that service rolled out in my area. Highly recommended, although I wish XMission were one of the available providers. .-----------------------------------. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `-----------------------------------'
