[NMLUG] old discussion: Albuquerque ISP

[Jason Davis]

hi,
 i work for cybermesa.com. i am the benchtech/in house network guy.
anyway cybermesa is pro linux/bsd. i have answerd many a tech call to
help a fellow linux user connect. to be honest i jump to the phone or conter
when someone mentions linux.we have several t1s in albq. our back bone
backbone for the state goes right through abq. offering low ping times.so
if your tired of qwests utter lack of customer service or care , and you 
would like a pro linux isp...call us 9889200...also we offer free web space
and give all of our users a shell account by default! the shell account  is
kinda weak though...however few people use the shells and i would glady
push through a request (like make install,etc) for serious users.hope yall
dont mind me saying all this...but someone did ask for advice.
