They still beat Sympatico. When I asked *them* why I could no longer telnet into
my POP server, they didn't know what telnet or POP were.

Do *not* get Sympatico. Besides that, they don't allow you to run servers (well,
P2P servers that chew up bandwidth and make them more money are OK, of course).

Big fat pipe, though :-)
