DCA doesn't have 24x7 tech support (I think it's 8-8 and half > days on weekends), if that's an issue, but there may be people who do. > I might also add to my last comments that I do ALL of my own services - name serving, mail, web, etc. So I need Verizon or whomever to do nothing but supply me with a data port and IP address. According to their (Verizon) info with Business DSL they supply a lot I would not use. I don't want their domain name, mail, webpage etc. The unlimited dialup is nice I guess in a pinch. I also have Verizon home service package - wired line and two Verizon Cell phones. I am assuming that there would be some discount using all of their services. At least they state that. That being said, it would still be nice to deal with a more linux/server friendly supplier like DCA if I could.
