I use mv.com, and have been very happy. They know & support Linux,
are starting a rollout of DSL around the state (alas, I'm 38,000 feet
from the CO), and have always given me excellent service. Cost is $20
for 300 hours / mo, and they have phone #'s all over the state, and
are moving to a 500 number that is toll-free around the state. That
includes web space, 2 e-mail accounts.
