Ah, when I checked into Verizon and some other providers tcpip was still the "standard" or so they insisted. I assume this means this is where everyone wants to go. I wonder if this means Microslop pays them kickbacks.<grin> Well at least my ISP plans to stick with tcpip. The of course have to support winblows in order to support the masses which is what generates cash, but they also openly support open source and Linux for sure.
