ISP Linux support

[Brian Kelsay]

I currently use worldinter.net (same as kcinter.net).  It can be as low as
$9.95/mo. if you pay for a year up front, I think they allow you to pay
monthly your first year.  But, you could also try sunflower.org at $79/yr.

In reality, any ISP where they will give you the DNS IP numbers and a phone
number to dial and that's all you need.  On the email side you need the name
of the pop and smtp servers to configure your mail client.  Normally
mail.ispname.com will work for both.  The thing to watch out for an ISP that
makes you run special/custom software (e.g. AOL, Netzero).  If you see this,
go the other way really fast.

I probably oversimplified for you, but hopefully someone out there who has
joined the list recently can use this info.

I was just wondering what some of you are using for Internet Service
Providers
for your Linux boxes at home. I live in Gladstone and plan on going DSL or
Cable Modem in the next couple of months, but in the mean time I need to
find
a regular dial-up ISP that supports Linux.
