 I used a small ISP for DSL back in the 2000s, loved it. He ran his own
 news server, offered shell accounts, tilde web space, and blocked
 inbound TCP 25 - unless you emailed him and he knew you weren't a total
 knob. Static IPs. Secondary DNS. MySQL databases.

 He was an old Pac Bell guy, so if there was a problem with my line, he
 gave them hell. I might have had an outage every 9 months or so - as
 opposed to my weekly outage with Xfinity...   :(



.... Where are we now?
