Great!  Now if SouthWind will get their end working...

How bad is this?  Anybody know how well they're connected in Wichita 
and how reliable their connection is?  I'm not interested in *any*
services except connectivity (if SW will keep my secondary DNS until I can
move back to them).  

I'd be willing to switch to them temporarily ($75 charge for breaking the
1-year contract with SWB) until SW offers DSL service if they aren't
absolutely terrible.  I'm paying $180 a month for 33.6k of bandwidth...
I'd move to ADSL even if it weren't an increase in bandwidth just to save
$100 a month.  Even after hookup charges, it'd only take me three months
to realize a savings.
