you can get root for free as well :)

cauze I've never tried these and nobody submitted them to me. I've sent a
request to the list something like 4 months before publishing the article,
I've used all the information I've received.
If you want something to be added to the list of ISPs, just send me/the
list an email and I will add it.
Please also check this guide's chapter
http://perl.apache.org/guide/multiuser.html and send me anything you want
to be added there. Thanks.
