I've got a customer on OOL running DNS and SMTP. It can be done (now,
at least) if you have the right service package. As for the
hair-trigger disconnection, and annoying policies (both real and
imagined by their customer support people) I've seen that on every ISP,
including Speakeasy, with whom I am quite familiar and was otherwise
happy with except for their trying to disconnect another customer of
mine for port-scanning that wasn't actually happening.
Ruben's problem here in any case is that he's already on Covad
(Speakeasy) and wants out of there.
