Hehe.  I used to live in a town served only by them.  Boy was I glad

I know a friend who put up a "top 10 worst ISPs" or some such page

I used to have to issue "ppp /compressed default" or some such.

But I moved in July 1997 so I guess I missed all those changes.  But
it is too bad that they go from Irix (bad) to NT (worse).

True.  I seem to have this problem of giving it out all at once :-)
