[wplug] Internet Access Solution...

[Doug Green]

Aaron-
For a good linux supporting dialup connection, try Telerama. I used them 
until I got DSL and I'd swear by them. If you call for customer support you 
get a real person... and they actually KNOW about linux! They helped me with 
all kinds of stuff that was only loosely related to my internet connection 
(like setting up my printer?!). In my opinion, they are the best ISP in 
Pittsburgh (guess that doesn't say a lot, but trust me- they're good).
