[DM-MUG] DSL ISP

[David Thrasher]

I just got something in the mail from Earthlink saying that they now have DSL service available. I don't know how good it is but their dial-up service has been good. Their offer is for $19.95 for the first 3 months and then $39.95 thereafter (I think I got that right). That's another option for you. If anybody has been using Earthlink's DSL, I'd certainly be willing to hear how good it's been. I've been thinking about it because then I wouldn't have to change my e-mail address, and because I wouldn't trust Mediacom to not keep jacking up the price of service.

Hi folks. I need to get DSL internet, and would like your 
recommendations. ISUNET is first on my call list, but are there any 
others I should be considering? Any anecdotes? I'll be connecting from 
West Des Moines.

I looked around QWEST's web site and they have quite a list of ISPs. 
What I find really strange is that with each one, the system 
requirements states Linux, Unix and Mac OS 8.6 are compatible but not 
OSX? I've used plenty of DSL PPPoE type setups before with OS X (since 
the public beta I think, although it wasn't "built-in" then). Do their 
modems do something weird?

The exact text is:

Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP or NT 4.0 or higher

Linux or Unix
Mac OS 8.6 or higher but not OSX

warm wishes,
Darcy
