Alright Tim; Here's the deal.  He offers you one months revenue for your
1/3.
You counter offer him 2.5 months for his 2/3.  I arrange financing for
you to buy him
out and we sell it at market value in which we both get 1/2 the profits.

If it is a partnership he must either accept your counter offer or up
his until
it gets right.  However IANAL but I am sure your attorney will help you
with the financing for an ISP with 600 customers and equipment.
