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 -- You are lost in a twisty maze of little web pages, all pointless. skquinn@wt.net (Shawn K.
