This is only indirectly related to Linux but... The group of housing co-ops to which I belong is going to be installing Ethernet jacks/cabling in all the rooms of all its houses. The bigger houses (100+ people) will probably have T1 connections while the smaller ones are going to have DSL connections (at least for now) to the Ethernet infrastructure. We're looking for an ISP that can assign us a set of static IPs and can track the usage through each address. We would also like to be able have residents contact the ISP directly to arrange their accounts, so that we don't have play the middleman in terms of service. However, we're hoping to contract with only one company for all the houses. Good support is important because we have a relatively low tech staff and may have upwards of 300 accounts. I'd like to find out (1) if anyone has any suggestions for companies which could do this sort of thing and/or (2) your experiences with these companies. Also, if you work for such a company and would like to make a bid, please email me directly, and I can forward to you the contact information for our manager. Thanks!
