Anyway, we'll wait before adding >the link until everyone can make their comments. =-) I take this as a request for comments... That being the case, I'll toss in my 2 cents worth. I looked through the web page when I first *ordered* the FreeBSD cd's and book from Walnut Creek. If there had been a complete list of companies and individuals in the Austin area I could have called, I'd have been a really happy guy. All I found was a single isp that never called me back. If I had my wish, there would be a link to a zillion companies and individuals. I'd like to see it indexed by: * location (state/city) * what kind of company they are (isp/consulting/whatever/individual) * name. I'd even like to see it put on the BSD-DOCS cd so for that period of time after I loaded FreeBSD and *before* I got it working enough to get back on the internet I would still have had access to the list. Also, I'd want this list as complete as possible. When I've seen lists like this (I'm on one in the Pascal arena), they try to limit the people listed. You know, only the big companies or the 'recognized' consulting companies, etc. I'd rather have all 100 people in the Austin area listed and make lots of calls than only one or two that might not return my call/email. >The above link is invalid.

Thanks muchly... Lee
