I don't know if you're in the BellSouth DSL phone district, but if you 
are, I'd strongly suggest considering Intrex DSL over RR Business 
Class.  You can get 3Mx384k DSL with equally good (if not better) 
service, 5 static IPs (one static, and then a /29), all for $54.99 / 
month.  If it's for a non-TriLUG related business, and you want to pay 
the retail cost, it's still only $84.99.  As for the contract, there is 
also a 1yr contract, but canceling early doesn't involve paying the 
remaining balance, or anything close to $700.  The worst it would be is 
$100, possibly less, depending on type of service and extenuating factors.

Of course, if you're not in the service area, then that's a whole 
different ball of wax.  But it never hurts to mention it.  :)

1. For the benefit of those who haven't heard, and might be curious - I 
left Intrex.net on good terms, and have since taken a position with a 
different company.
