DCA.net quoted all sorts of conversion fees at me, $200 here, $130 there.
And their news server sucks -- my half the Big Eight and change server was
higher ranked than theirs in transit ratings. Verizon has a reasonable
reputation for news, actually. One of my friends has an account with them in
New England.
I was one of the Monday Massacre people at the division of Fastnet formerly
known as Netaxs, so I don't have a lot of money to throw around.
If anyone has a Windows laptop and would like dinner and an authographed copy
