Linux Friendly ISP

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I think that Galaxy Internet is also reasonable. (http://www.gis.net). They 
are owned and operated locally. I used to use them. Galaxy was 
$9.95/mo but they recently raised their rates slightly. They also do DSL. 
As I mentioned, one of my clients has DSL, but had a problem with his 
laptop (which eventually required sending in to DELL). I connected my 
Linux laptop to the DSL cable and it came up immediately with a 
reasonable bandwidth.  

Also, the World (http://www.std.com) is also a reasonable locally owned 
ISP. Many of use have accounts there from when we were with the BCS. 
I recently gave a talk at the Share convention, and needed to use a local 
dialup since I have Mediaone (AT&T BB). I had not used my world 
account in years. I had never used Linux PPP before, and it came up the 
first time after I initialized it.
