Aloha Jeff,


I use Net Bnterprise on Bishop St to feed the net using FreeBSD servers 
located in my shed in Wahiawa and have setup a Linux firewall on my lan 
hooked to them on different dsl line. Firewall is also located in my 
shed. (I have backup power for 10 hrs from stationary batteries.)
For many years now I have no issues that were not rectified immediately. 
  (Ex: DSL dropped (Telcom Issue but Net Enterprise Techs got immediate 
action.)
