[ale] OT: used dsl modems / speakeasy customers in Tucker?

[Brian MacLeod]

Ebay is a great idea for getting replacements.  I'm getting ready to go
with Speedfactory, and I decided to buy my own DSL router (before they
started waiving that equipment cost too), and found plenty available.
I'm sure the DSL modems are just as plentiful.
