[KLUG Members] ISP questions

[Wesley Leonard]

Hey Adam...

I've been using Ameritech's DSL since February.  It's pretty reliable but every
now and again gets funky.

I use Roaring Penguin's PPPoE client and it works great.  Get the self-install
kit if you can and an external modem and you should be OK.  When I got it the
install kit and modem were free (with rebate).
