Allright folks, could we please stop the flame war. I don't care who's better to be very frank. All I am looking at are facts. FACT: Dorsai is a 501c3 corporation providing cheap and/or free access to the disabled and the disadvantaged. FACT: For $125/year, Dorsai offers full access for a reccomended 4 hours/day and 5 megs online. This includes TIA which provides a SLIP like interface. FACT: For $200/year, Dorsai provides static SLIP access. FACT: None of the Dorsai staff member is paid for the work they put in. They often put in the extra money from their own pocket. FACT: No one really cares about silly disputes about who the best provider is. Let's face it folks, we have bigger problems to deal with. For example, what will all of us small online access providers do when the CIX comes around and tells us the internet is closed unless you are ready to cough up $10k. Now let's stop this escalating flame war and all bow in the general direction of Los Angeles, where the first net site was installed 25 years ago.
