Do check to see what happens if you minimize your POTS service. Remember, if you add DSL on top and switch most of your calling to VOIP you might be able to save big bucks on not only long distance, but local calling (HOW many calls do you make for dial-up connectivity? Even at $0.10 per, we found that it was a solid chunk before we got broadband.)

Here's another nudge reminder that I have some number of boxen available for you. These include several Pentium systems and a Micron Pentium Pro system. All of these work. Also possibly one or more PII systems; one of them has no power supply (it's a Dell; that might be proprietary?).

Do you have a guess whether you'll be up north anytime soon? (Contata, perhaps, if not earlier.) It would be good to get you these so they can go to good use. And I wouldn't mind discussing with you in person the setup of Linux boxen, particularly older systems (I have an old Pentium 1 laptop that would probably benefit much from being swapped from Windows 95 to Linux).

I think I'll have to miss Contata due to a schedule conflict, but I'll be somewhere in NY a couple of weeks earlier.

Too bad about Contata. We'll miss you there. Let me know in advance when you're coming, and we can arrange for Good Stuff. Computers for sure, and maybe Indian food if you're into it.

BTW, I want to direct you specifically to http://www.livejournal.com/users/redaxe/126246.html wherein I note an article about naked DSL that appeared yesterday on CNet.
