well, dunno about joe, but the jane to which i am married had a
fit.  "dealing with an isp was a known deal, these telco idiots are
sub-useless."  after two months of trying, she cancelled the new
forced rboc dsl service, and is thinking of cutting the telco line
entirely and getting cable ip service and running her own voip over
it (to my asterisk in colo).

among other amazing silliness, the telco dsl uses a windoze app to
'log on'.
