Looks like a nice product. I haven't used it. I wonder about a company that doesn't say where it does business, though. I'm in Northeast Ohio and they don't have a list of locations they service. -- Tired of Earthlink? Get JustTheNet! Nationwide Dialup, ISDN, DSL, ATM, Frame Relay, T-1, T-3, and more.

Of course, this is only judging from the list of places they've told me they _can't_ provide service, and the fact that whenever they tell me they can't provide service in, say, downtown San Francisco, they immediately follow up by asking if I wouldn't really rather receive service in Palo Alto, instead. -Bill
