I just want to say that this wasn't true.  Sure their QoS sucked donkey
testicles.  But the staff on hand was (up until GST bought them out)
amazingly helpful (more so than tech support), knoweledgable, and pro BSD
(esp. FreeBSD).  As long as I could provide my own mail server it was
worth putting up with subpar service.

The one worthwhile thing they did however, was rig up some sort of
authentication so that if the IP you were using (assuming it was a non
"native" IP), had logged into their POP3 server, for the next 30 mins that
IP could use their SMTP server.
