Intrex.net is a local provider of DSL service for various telco 
locations.  In the interest of full disclosure, I am currently employed 
as the System Administrator for Intrex.net.  So please do not consider 
me unbiased.  :)  Intrex has arranged a special offer to members of 
TriLUG, and if you are officially a member (which is free and easy), you 
have access to what I believe to be the best service for a Linux box, on 
the cheap.  In a BellSouth phone area, you can get 256k x 128k 
connection, with a Static IP, and no inbound port restrictions, for 
$34.99 per month.  Normally, the "residential" DSL services in the area 
will block incoming connections on ports 25 and 80, as well as some 
other arbitrary restrictions.  In our opinion, it's your bandwidth, and 
you're welcome to use it in what ever way you like.  :)  (presuming of 
course that it does not violate any laws, or contribute to an overall 
detriment to the Internet - read: don't send spam)  We also extend the 
same offer for our other services, 1.5M x 256k for $49.99 and 3M x 384k 
for $54.99.

If you have any questions, feel free to post to the list, or give me a 
call in the office on Monday morning.
