It was actually a SOLARIS-based ISP who steered me to thuntek, and they don't advertise themselves as BSD-based. I think a worthy project would be to get all FreeBSD-based ISP's to fess up and list themselves on the FreeBSD.org website, at the very least. The level of access I get -- and the inside scoop I have on THEIR operations -- is an order of magnitude better than I get with CIS or IBM.net or any of the others. I've got a normal shell account, personal website, and 56K access, all for the same $20 everybody else wants. The more we can support each other, the better. I'm sure there are loads of FreeBSD ISP's and Web Hosts out there, and we users should support them. Needless to say, MHO is that they should proudly display 'Powered by FreeBSD' as well. :-))) -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ _________ ___==__ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde dwilde1@thuntek.net [ = = ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo---oo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
