style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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’d say we are probably the one of the only Linux friendly ISP’s in the
area<SPAN class=GramE>..</SPAN> We offer –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)<SPAN
class=GramE>..</SPAN> <SPAN class=GramE>a</SPAN> whole slew of bells and
whistles.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">We offer great response time and
dsl can usually be provisioned within just a few days<SPAN
class=GramE>..</SPAN> <SPAN class=GramE>our</SPAN> normal installation charge
is $199.00 for business or residential, however I’ve gotten the company to
extend an offer of discounted installation at $130 (includes modem/router and
setup).. <SPAN class=GramE>in</SPAN> 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></SPAN></FONT></P>
