Hi folks, I spoke with my boss today about presenting an
offer to the NFLUG list for discounted DSL install should anyone be interested
in the service. We are a local Linux-Friendly ISP and wanted to offer to you
this opportunity to get a discounted installation. I&#8217;d say we are
probably the one of the only Linux friendly ISP&#8217;s in the area.. We offer &#8211;static- ip addresses, bridged or PPPoE
connections, free snmp monitoring (should you choose to take advantage),
several email accounts (should you choose to not use your own server).. a whole slew of bells and
whistles.<o:p></o:p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></font></p>

We offer great response time and dsl can usually be
provisioned within just a few days.. our normal installation charge is $199.00 for business or
residential, however I&#8217;ve gotten the company to extend an offer of
discounted installation at $130 (includes modem/router and setup).. in some cases we can route you your own small subnet. We
have our OWN DS3 backbone and provide connectivity for quite a few local
organizations. Most of our staff is linux savvy and could help you with any
setup questions you might have.<o:p></o:p>
