IDT owns their own POP's in two or three locations. They sell "franchises" to local ISP's for a percentage of the signup fee and monthly recurring. IDT in Houston is more than likely through a local Houston ISP who has provided a dialin number for their service. IDT (formerly IOS) started as a long distance provider that branched out to the Internet service market. They are based in New Jersey and are agressively marketing their services across the U.S. Opinions on service vary wildly. Please see The List and research for yourself from there. John
