Yes, please put that up on the TWiki. I dropped EarthLink & tried to sign 
on w/ SpeakEasy a month or so ago, but it turned out that the verification, 
which their salesman & I were going on, that my number was available to 
their ADSL service, was not correct. That was maddening. By the time that 
fact emerged, I had no connection.

Went through the ALE list archives, searching for threads about 
Linux-competent ADSL providers for Atlanta. Got the impression that 
HellSouth was workable, if I knew what I was doing. (That's a conditional 
statement. Unfortunately, the condition tests to false.) Guess I'll check 
how things stand again in a year.
