Anthony,

I have been reading news.admin.net-abuse.announce recently, and there have been
several mentions of earthlink getting a UDP from usenet.  This would not be good
for anyone tied into their network.

If AT&T is still accepting users on worldnet, it would be a better solution.
The worldnet charges are also $19.95 per month.  If you were in Tampa, I would
recommend cftnet.  They may actually have a POP in Orlando.

Good luck,


Charles C. Caro
