John, I'd be curious as to why you would push Bellsouth?  They are the 
local monopoly, they really stick it to you if you want any extras, like 
static ip, they use pppoe.

We need to support the other alternatives in order to create a 
competitive market.  Right now, the FCC is about to make changes to the 
current laws that require the rbocs to sell their services to other 
companies for local service.  This will impact dsl services as well.  If 
the rbocs get their way, we'll have no choice in dsl, but Bellsouth.  We 
all know what that environment is like.
