[ale] Bellsouth DSL

[Mike Murphy]

I was happy with them for the better part of 2.5 years. Then they 
blocked port 25 *inbound*, so I shopped for someone else. Now I have the 
same service from speedfactory, but on the rare occassion I do have a 
problem, I can actually talk to someone who knows what they are doing. 
So, for me the switch was worth it.
