Richard,
I'm stumbling in at the last minute and don't fully understand this thread, but
is it my understanding that you need a POTS (dialup) fido feed?
I pull the entire backbone from Ross Cassell via an internet connection, but I
do have a modem online and if needed, I can feed you.
I See your located in Eads, TN so I know its long distance for you, (I'm in
North Charleston, SC), but I have Vonage for phone service so I have free
long distance, I just don't know what kind of speed we'll get over Vonage. Be
interesting to find out tho.
The only issue is the fact I haven't hubbed to anyone in over 10 years, so we
may have to work some bugs out.
Give me a shout, call me at home weekdays between 4pm and 10pm or all
day on the weekends, or crash netmail to 1:372/6
