[TriLUG] Free Static IP on DSL account for our user groups

[Jim Ray]

Well, good news, folks.  The local Internet service provider, Portbridge,
has made available a free static IP for members of the three predominate
user groups in this area:

NCSA (http://www.ncsysadmin.org)
TriLUG (http://www.trilug.org)
TNTUG (http://www.tntug.org)

Portbridge graciously hosts tntug.org pro bono and also hosted Rotary Club
of Raleigh's first web site back in 1997 when operating as ipass.net.

Please spread the word if you are interested in a static IP yet don't want
to pay an extra surcharge normally assessed by other ISPs.

Here is their contact info:

Portbridge Internet, Inc.

(thanks, Igor!!!)

Hth,

Jim

Jim,

It was good to see you for lunch.  I am glad things are going well for you
and your family.

DSL offer:
Portbridge is offering a free static IP to any member of the three user
groups you mentioned.  Each DSL service includes 3 email addresses and a
complimentary dialup account.

BellSouth DSL (Raleigh and Goldsboro areas):
Regular: 1.5M/256K - $45 per month
Lite: 256K/128K    - $35 per month

Sprint DSL (All of North Carolina):
Regular: 1.5M/384K - $55 per month
Lite: 512K/128K    - $40 per month

There is no setup fee, no contracts and a free DSL modem/router for use. The
modem needs to be returned to Portbridge after the service is terminated.
Portbridge is co-located at Inflow and we have plenty of bandwidth on the
Internet as well as on the DSL ATM side.

Can you please email me the user's group names?  I need to let my support
guys be aware of these offers so that when someone calls they can service
them properly.

Please let me know how the offer was received and let me know if you need
any further information.

Regards,
