A good friend of mine, George Emigh of Access Unlimited [1] can get you
DSL for a fair price. He's running the entire shop off vservers under
Linux (something perhaps Robin would like to see). Some of the old
timers may remember George from The Above Board BBS, which he ran from
1986 to 1998, the last 2 years he ran it alongside ACUN, which was neat
cause you could dial into Above Board and use lynx to get onto the
Internet without actually having an ISP.. :)

Another possibility is RapidSys [2] out of Tampa. I have a handful of
clients using their services with great success. They use ATM style DSL
circuits as opposed to George's frame style. RapidSys offers DSL bonding
of multiple circuits together for extra speed (or redundancy).
