Hello Sluggers,

As many of you have probably noticed, Verizon is offering DSL for
$14.95. Of course there are other charges also but they don't put any
numbers on them. Do it yourself installation was $15 and the modem was
free.

Anyway, since it now cheaper than my dial-up I am thinking of trying it.
They offer a linksys router for a $15 one time charge. I assume that is
with a firewall? Figured I would go that route and put a nic in my
box. Don't want wireless.The sales person was not very knowledgeable
but she did state that their tech people would assist in a linux setup.

So what do the Sluggers think ????? Problems, successes, warnings,
etc. ?
