Anthem. I don't know where else, though. Here's the funny part -
they charged me $100 for set up. All he did was change my Win98
from static IP to dhcp open up the browser (Netscape 6), tell me
that Netscape 6 won't work, surfed to his company's site and fill
out the for that said he was here. I paid $100 for that? When
you go with Qwest, they got you by the cohones.
So right now I have my laptop firewall running Linux with my Win98
and my Solaris/SPARC box on the inside, all on 10/100 mbps.
No all Qwest has to do is keep their service running - it's
been pretty flaky today and yesterday.
