Sort of. They are certainly using BellSouth wires, but I don't know exactly how much more involvement BS has. I have been a happy TriLUG customer of Intrex DSL for quite some time, running incoming and outgoing SMTP, as well as incoming IMAP, IMAPS, SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, and possibly other things I have forgotten. I have just "upgraded" the connection to do IPv6-over-IPv4, too. > Intrex's T&C also say "no servers". > But I hear that their sales staff are happy to help out > TriLUG members by bending those rules. Their service is > $45/mo for 1.5 mbps. If they are offering you that price for that speed, take it! That's what I am paying ( actually a little more ) for 256/128. Actually, what you are calling "bending the rules" is part of the TriLUG sponsorship deal.

The issue that I had with them was blocking of port 25, but either No-Ip.com or Misk.com ( I forget which ) offered a redirect service which allowed me to do incoming SMTP on port 2525 into my network, while the rest of the world thought it was talking to port 25. > Alan Brian
