Jordan,

If you go to dslextreme.com, then click "dsl services", then click "check
availability" you can see if dslextreme offers service in your area. I
would suggest you call them direct, their email support can be not as fast
as one would like.

If one reviews the other dsl providers at dslreports.com, dslextreme
customers IMO tend to be tolerant of some nonspecific minor problems at
dslextreme.com unique to each customer, ==> OS/2 translation -
knowledgeable OS/2 users should have no problem IMO. :)))

dsl at this time IMO is not yet a commodity; one pays for what they get.
Good luck.

Larry
