I had a miserable experience with SBC DSL about a year ago, but I was running windoze. I never could get it to connect so I guess I'm a bit gun-shy.

Their DSL is comparably priced to dial-up in my area right now. You have to order online but customer service said  my mistake before was to order the kit for a single computer when I should have ordered the (more expensive) kit with their router instead of trying to use my DLink DI-604.

Is it okay for me to PM or email you for advice on this, Kent? It's okay if you're too busy.

If this ISP is not available to support DSL may I recommend Copper.net. It is a national ISP that appears to be good according to people who have used it. If you pay your bill with a credit card or checking account, it's $9.95/month. If you use my ID as a reference, my non-profit organization will receive $15 for every person that signs up. I use this ISP on the Linux machines I donate to needy kids. No extra software required. They were even nice enough to give me an account for free to test Linux compatibility, while others I asked wouldn't do it.

Verizon DSL works fine with DamnSmallLinux

For my local system, the pppoe username was "emailname@verizon.net"

and the password was the Verizon email account password.

Plug in computer
Boot DamnSmallLinux
Run pppoeconfig
Enter in information.
Done

The nicrevival account manager is back up as of 9/27. :D

I'm not sure where they're physically located, so this could have been hurricane related. I never lost service, although I did notice it slowing down for a bit. Whatever happened, they've got it fixed now, so I'm going to stick with them for another three months anyway.
