I'm here.
The company is SCA Internet http://www.scainternet.net. The bad news is that the network provider (as opposed to SCA who are
the *service* provider) doesn't have service locations near me, so I had to go with an 'official' ADSL connection. Not too bad
since my DL speed will actually be faster by a factor of about 50%. I live in Camden Co. NJ, so your mileage may vary here.
nonetheless, they seem like good filks and are, as I mentioned, Linux-friendly. And they don't care what you do with your
connection (I suppose as long as it's legal and not overtly commercial).
Their number is 877-SCA-INET. They're just about a year old so take that for what it's worth. However, I got pretty good
vibes off the guy (ask for Joe Pierce, X117) and I thought this was a good opportunity to help out a Linux-friendly ISP who are
just starting up.
Hope this helps.
