[COLUG] SBC DSL

[Stephen P. Molnar, Ph.D.]

I've been using SBC since last December without any problems.  They 
furnished a SpeedStream 5100 modem.  I have two towers and a laptop on a 
Belkin router which in turn is on the modem.  I found their technical staff 
to be very knowledgeable, as far as MS is concerned.

My SuSE 9.0 platform has absolutely no problems reaching out to the net.

All in all, I'm very pleased.  Of course, only being 650 feet from the 
telephone company server doesn't hurt transmission speed.
