Dial and DSL access

[Robert Dinse <nanook@eskimo.com>]

     I've found a couple of national DSL providers that use Covad and one of
them has a reseller program, one way or the other we will keep the existing
circuits in service, but I do not want to sell additional DSL until this is
solidly resolved. 

     Given what MegaPOP has done with DSL, I am concerned that there might be
financial problems there and dial access may follow.

     I am getting setup with another outfit that will make the dial-ups of
MegaPOP, Ziplink, and UUNET all available to you so that you can use whichever
works best for you and in most locations more than one is available which
provides some redundancy. 

     This will provide those of you who can't make a good connection to
MegaPOP's new Seattle POP an alternative, and it will provide everybody an
alternative if MegaPOP should fold or do something else flakey.
