I've had about three local ISP's in the last ten years...by far the longest lasting has been QNI (now http://www.primary.net). Fairly low user/modm ratio, good tech support (at least in the QNI days...I don't know if that's changed with the primary.net take-over...haven't needed to call). They even had SWB change out a switchbox when I was getting spurious disconnects. No complaints. Both the Linux box and the Newton connect fine. (No non-local access number for vacations, though...bummer) A friend has kcinter.net, and I can just about figure there's a thirty percent change that my mail to him will bounce with an "unknown user." :( Haven't heard any complaints from friends using blitz-it.
