Friendly ISPs in the Boulder area WAS: Re: [lug] AT&T blocking http??

[Nick Golder]

This is a good time for me to post my question.  I might possibly be
moving to the Boulder area and have been trying to find a DSL ISP that:

1) is "alternative OS" friendly... none of this proprietary PPPoE crap
that requires "their" client software for authentication

2) is friendly to those that want to run their own servers off of the
bandwidth that they are forking the bucks out for

3) offers an IP block [or netblock] of around 8 static IPs 

Currently (here in Iowa), I can pick up a 768kbps up/~1.5Mbps down
connection with 8 static IPs for about $135/month.  I am hoping that
Boulder has similar offerings that are competitively priced.

I am sure that somebody on this list can tell me who to stay away from
and what company would be a good fit.
TIA
