	Bullshit.  I don't like the fact that I have to work with BellSouth
(June's a BS retiree so our primary line has all their services) and
they screw things up on lots of fronts and their support sucks, but they
work just fine with Linux and I've had no trouble with filing trouble
reports and getting service (their web site blows goats, OTOH, but that
has nothing to do with their DSL).  I don't like the fact that I can
only get 1 static address (you can get 5 static addresses from
SpeedFactory) but that's a problem I can work around.

	I won't give any testimonials FOR BellSouth but they are not ruled out
merely over Linux.

> Try SpeedFactory.

	I agree with this 1000%.  Scott, my son, has SpeedFactory and they're
pretty damn good and their support is second to none.

	Mike
