I beleive that mindspring AKA netcom has some limited use packages that
are inexpensive and they accept linux PPP connections just fine from
me.  I think they start about $9 and go up to $20 for unlimited...  They
are only at 33.6 here in town though...

What about the Wichita Eagle?  Anybody know what their prices look
like?  I thought they where rather cheep...
