[SLL] Fry's an ISP?!

[Glenn Stone]

OK, I just hit Fry's site to get their hours (contemplating a late Sunday
afternoon run) and noticed they've set up an ISP.  Explicity, umm, let's
say, Linux-non-hostile.  (They don't offer a heck of a lot of support,
but all the info a semi-savvy Linuxhead would need, and make a point of
saying they have customers with Redhat, Debian, and Mandrake... and even
Solaris (though I'm not sure what the point of that is :) :) :) 

Anybody try this out yet?  Or shall I guinea pig it?  Fortunately all I'd
have to do is run pppconfig and also fix dhcpd.conf so that my NAT'ed
boxes get DNS.... being set up to use the net connection as a bitpipe
only is a Happy Thing.  

Actually, I am going to send them a note asking just exactly what their
definition of "unlimited" is... I use a metric buttload(*) of dialup
time.  Yes, if I had the semolians, I'd *so* be on DSL or, more likely, a
sat link (having all one's clients local makes bursty networking
palatable)... but, alas... 

(*) 2.2 times a regular buttload. :)
