[COLUG] Linux-friendly rural broadband in Central Ohio?

[LINCOLN RUTLEDGE]

Hi Peter,

First of all, good luck to ya.  I just moved to the city from Sixteenth 
Road, between Stoutsville and Tarlton about two years ago, I ain't 
goin' back ;)

Some areas offer DSL, and there is cable in some areas too.  I used 
dialup the whole time.

Greg "Groggy" Lehey (check out lemis.com) lives rurally, and has a 
pretty smart setup.  He has his Web traffic and some storage 
handled at an ISP, then he has incoming satellite, and has a 
dedicated 56k outgoing link.  If you are creative on how you set 
things up, this setup will provide okay performance.

I don't know why he isn't using two-way satellite.

I used to work with a guy with one-way satellite, he was real 
happy.  But all he cared about was pulling down mp3s.

Do you understand that you will have to drive 30 minutes for a 
pizza or chinese food?

You can see the stars better in the country, I saw the Aurora 
Borealis three years ago in my yard out there.

Yee Haw!

Oh, they don't sell beer on Sunday anywheres.  Better get a case on 
Friday, or you'll be sorry (and sober).
