You probably don't know this, but now you will.  For all practical
intents and purposes, SouthWind has not been SouthWind since 23 January
2001, the day forever known as OneMain.com-Integration.  So when you
speak of a 2 hour meter, you speak of OneMain or EarthLink, because it
definately was not SouthWind setting 2 hour session limits.  I know,
because I drove _ALL_ of their dial equipment.

I am willing to tee up any of our DSL products, like-for-like, with 
regards to speed, knowledge, and support.  Pound for pound nobody 
touches what we do.  Locally-based for sure, Nationally-based as well.
