Hear, hear!  I went through this whole thing with Housing at the
beginning of last year, when ethernet services, which were always
included in the "rent", became a separate fee.  (Mind you, I am 
also quite aware of how CHEAP housing ethernet services are, in
terms of what you would pay to get that kind of service in "real
life".)  I was left wondering when they would split off the Cable
TV, phone, electricity, and water bills.... "Plus a $10 fee for
custodial services"  Sheesh...

I somewhat agree with the dialup fee.  I don't like it, but I feel
it could help.  Especially if they drop they Ethernet fee.  The
way I figure it, what better way to ease Dialup load than to make
ethernet more attractive?  I sent as much to ACNS's VECTOR publication.
No answer.  Go figure.

There are too many people living in Ethernet connected dorms dialing
in.  What a waste...
