I don't have an account with Mindspring (or any other ISP for that matter).
My edu connectivity is great...10 mbps ethernet (I'm in the dorms).  So
nothing less than ISDN will probably do for non-shell access once I'm out
of here.  I expect to pay quite a bit for a comparable level of service, much
more than $30/month...
