broadband access

[kaworu at bu.edu (Evan Sarmiento)]

The website for RCN is www.rcn.com
Your IP address will always stay the same if there is some traffic coming
from your box. That's why I always have IRC running in the background.
You can get cable TV from RCN.

RCN does not like you to have a LAN behind the cable modem, but they said
to me, "What you do in your house is not your buisness." So that means you
can if they don't know about it.

They allow servers if they're non commercial.

$70 for cable modem, one local phone line, non-listed & non-published
number. Plus two free options. I have caller id and anonymous call
blocking.

$120 for EVERYTHING. Cable modem, two phones, and cable tv. 

Hope this helps,

PS. RCN officially supports Linux.
