3/31    Anyone have DSL without telephone service?  What provider will
        do this?  I am trying to get away from cable. --jwm
        \_ I am not aware of any provider that will do this.  You might
           be able to set up a phone line, get DSL installed, then cancel
           the phone line, but that's a dicey bet at best.
        \_ Share with a neighbor.  Ask the ones you know, offer to handle
           all the tech, and then split the DSL costs month to month.
           Make sure you don't go with a skinflint ISP that checks for
           this type of thing.  Perhaps someone with more knowledge than
           I can elaborate on the "how" of this.
           \_ Yeah it's really hard.  It takes some extra cables and a $50
              router+switch unit from best buy.  Can I get paid 6 figures for
              doing your networking?
        \_ I have a covad line like this where my employer acts as the
           ISP. covad couldn't care less if you have a phone, but
           you need an ISP to contract with covad for the line...
