Re: [linux-team] Request For Comments: OPEN ISP.
Same impression; when I connected my home PC to tornado.com, some years
ago, my provider was also MS-centric (at least the local one) and ignored
all the basic standard procedures to establish the slip connection. By the
way, he was friendly but was not able to help.

The project may attract a good fraction of the interesting guys, just
wanting some help to start with Linux, and perhaps interested to
collaborate to (or to become user of) some collective projects (like your
proposition for encryption, common infrastructure ...).
A free connection means some sacrifice (speed? advertisements? lost
privacy? ...), and I prefer to continue to pay for a decent service, 24/24
without any connection loss or a long queue to connect.
So I am not sure that all must be 'free' to be interesting : a good
service and a creative environment can allow to ask for at least a small
fee.
Any comment ?
