[Tfug] blacklists

[klsmith]

I know from experience that UltraSW lacks customer service!

I find Dakotacom.net to have excellent customer service and they have helped

They are server friendly and since Jon and Tyler are on the list they are
also our peers in the Open Source community.

Dave does not know a thing about Linux........ They are NT only.....
