[KLUG Members] note on charter cable isp connections

[Kevin Mitchell]

I've asked around and found that there isn't any requirement of purchasing
a router or professional installation through us.  Linux boxen w/ PPOE
clients can be used to connect.  Obviously our support staff won't be
much help in how to install a PPOE client in Debian 2.2r6 or how to
recompile your kernel to do NAT & IP firewalling. ;)

While I can't say we will never put up filters, I seriously don't see it
happening.  The only times I can see reasons for disabling an account are
for the usual - non payment, open relay SMTP, spamming, 31337 h4x0riNg, etc.

Availability can be found here:

As far as costs go...I'm the Linux guy. ;)  If you're interested call
1-888-64-ISERV.  It might be a good idea to ask to speak to Brent (he
works days and knows the most about our DSL offerings).  Tell him you're
calling from the KLUG.  :)
