Ahh...  So they're bundling in the phone line as well?  I guess I don't
blame you then. ;-)  I'd probably go for that option as well, despite
Onvoy's reputation (MR-Net's).  On thing in their favor, they're always
VERY good with customer service.  We have them for an ISDN provider (until
we get our T1 with Visi) at work.  They've been pretty good about calling
me (at all hours of the night) to tell us our ISDN went down and they
can't regain control remotely, so they call me to physically powercycle
the router (Ascend pipeline 75).

Anyway...  Time to get back to work
