[RLUG] [Off-topic] Phone systems

[Bruce Robertson]

Dialup yes, but not DSL unfortunately.  While we're going to be offering DSL 
shortly in the Sacramento LATA (assuming we can still offer it at all), Quincy 
is in the Chico LATA, and we have no immediate plans to expand in that area. 
I can recommend Sunset Net in Chico, though - http://www.sunset.net.

If it's dialup you're interested in, our Quincy access number is 530-280-0074.
