Re: Sigh...
There are some telcos that still have this kind of flexibility on their DSL service. Since DSLAMs just map each DSL connection into ATM PVCs, they can terminate the connection on any other ATM end-point on the same network.
When I lived downtown I was in Qwest territory and was able to order DSL with my choice of ISPs, so I was able to get provisioned to a local ISP that routed me a /29 and provided all kinds of nifty features like shell access on one of their user SunOS machines. |
