What drives me crazy about DSL service is that you have to have a POTS line, which is another $20/mo, at least. I think the cable companies really have the best model. Most of the town already has cable, and the line charge appears to be built in to service fee. If the cable companies could pull their price down to $26.95 and not charge their lame "$5/mo modem fee, $5/mo digital access fee", and at the same time have at least a 99.99% uptime, everyone would be in trouble. To steer this topic back to Linux... bah. We are way off topic now. Mark _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
