DSL Providors

[Amanda Lee]

Thank you for your points because if I can't get onto DSL here, will just
contact ComKrap I'mean Comcast and go for Cable Modem until DSL is a
happnin' thing at my house.  We have Winblows boxes in the house but if I
put the linux box on first and use it as my primary server, then seems
I've got most of it covered unless I can't get ComKrap to see my linux
box.  I'm  probably saying a lot in error here because I am rery
uninformed about most of this.  So appreciate your input as well and it's
great that we have such a helpful way to network.
