Good idea.

I will talk to the guys involved and see if we can setup a low cost
server site for Linux/Unix users from the list. 

We had trouble last year with a band width abuser who was sub leasing
space off an unmetered DSL line. We terminated  him and he's probably
moved on with some other ISP who is being abused  and doesn't realize it
yet.
