[TriLUG] Moving to the area this weekend

[Joel Ebel]

As an alternative to Time Warner, let me recommend Earthlink Cable.  If 
you do it right, you can get it for a few dollars cheaper each month, 
and like like to give you the first 6 months for a lot cheaper.  Some 
advantages other than price are a great network of dial-up locations, 
and they don't require the strange scripts that time warner at least 
used to use for dial-up when you need it.  Also, earthlink provides an 
authenticated smtp server which you can use from anywhere.  That's no 
longer an issue for me, but previously I didn't have smtpauth at work, 
and time warner didn't provide it at home, so I had to keep switching 
smtp servers.  Earthlink let me just use a single server on my laptop. 
It's the same network as time warner, so you get the same speed and 
quality of service.  It just has a few other advantages over time warner 
that I appreciate.
