Anyone have any comments on Earthlink DSL???

[Henry Smith]

Hello all,

Am considering getting DSL from Earthlink/Mindspring, but I got to
wondering if anyone on the list might have any comments/experience on their
DSL service which they might like to share? 

At first glance, it seems like a pretty good deal $39.95/mo for what
appears to be ADSL (up to 1.5 Mbps down, 128 Kbps up) but they say they
support Win9X/Mac while other OS' "may be configured". There is a $99 self
install fee as well. 

I was thinking of using a Linksys router as the interface with the DSL
modem and then setting up a small RH6.0 box to act as E-mail server. (May
go with the TZO.com service instead - still not completely thought out on
best approach for this.) SOHO LAN has 5-6 PC's on it with 4-5 users with a
mix of Linux, Wintel and one Mac G4 at current stage.

Any comments on this as a viable arrangement?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,	

Henry
