“Proving that the First Linux ISP is Still the Best, BPS
announces it is today passing two major milestones. Now
offering Dial-up service to OVER 1000 communities in the US, and
international service in Canda and Japan.”

BPS Internet Access a partnership of
GeekCast.Com Networks and Pinnacle
Internet
was the first ISP in the world focusing on the
Linux community and fundrasing for good works projects in the Linux
community.

BPS Internet Access is a cooperative effort to
create a fundraiser for The Benevolent Penguin
Society
, a Linux community benevolence organization. In
the words of Geekcast CEO Jeff Gerhardt “you have to get
Internet service from somewhere, you might as well get that service
from someone that is going to help the Linux Community achieve
their goals, and give you a great deal on a great service to boot.
The Benchmark price of $17.00/mo for unlimited single channel
(56/64kbps)analog or ISDN and $29.00/mo for unlimited dual channel
(112/128kbps) analog or ISDN service is very competitive. There is
also a Passthrough service for those pople who
only want access and get their services (email, web host, etc) from
some other source, that is available for $12.00/month single
channel or $24.00/month for dual channel service. Details on the
service and a sign up form can be found at the BPS Access Web Site.”
