[ILUG] Irish internet users list?

[Justin Mason]

Hi everyone,

Recently I've seen quite a bit of traffic about various topics relating to
a user's view of the internet, such as:

  * what various ISPs and telco/cable companies have in the pipe
  regarding the next connection mechanism, be it ISDN, cablemodems, or the
  fabled ADSL, or new deals on offer;

  * pricings, tariffs, and restrictions of those deals;

  * connection details for non-Windows users (does it use PAP/CHAP?
  etc.);

  * technical details and limitations on use of those technologies (does
  the second ISDN B channel work with a "home user" deal, etc?)

It strikes me that quite a few of these topics are off-topic for the list
they came in on, but would be quite on-topic if we were to create a new
list for that purpose.  Also I (for one) would welcome a forum to bitch
about how slow Eircom are with their ADSL plans. ;)

So how's about it? I can set up a list @jmason.org no problem, I'm just
wondering if there'd be interest.  It'd be a free-for-all unmoderated
jobbie, and I'm thinking something boring like <iiu-list at jmason.org> (the
"-list" part is mandatory at my web hosting place).
