Since I'm running Linux (Slackware 3.2) over here in Fort Worth, I
thought I'd let you know about FastLane, a.k.a.:

	FastLane Internet Services
	307 West 7th Street Suite 850
	Ft. Worth, TX 76102
	Metro (817) 429-5263, Fax (817) 870-2585
	http://www.fastlane.net

Their connection to the Internet is in Dallas and has just been upgraded
to a T3 connection.  Their Fort Worth network is connected to their
Dallas network by two T1 connections, I think.

I'm using the usual suspects to connect to FastLane: xisp, fetchmail,
sendmail, netscape, and emacs.

FastLane just changed over to using airnews.net's news service, and it
seems to be working just fine, better than the old news service
according to some people.  I have no complaints about it and I seem to
be more of a Usenet News hound than most people.

Anyways, while you're looking around, take a look at FastLane, and if
you've got any questions, please let me know.

By the way, I'm just a happy customer of FastLane, I don't work for
them.

Later,
Len
