Call US West, they are offering DSL at a discount for another month or so. My 675 cost $50 and
they waived the install fee and threw in the NIC for free. I'm very happy w/ the connection
too. I had them help me get the router configured w/ win95, then set up eth0 to talk to it in
linux. Very easy, even for me w/ virtually no networking experience.
