I received a letter telling me that I had to switch to MSN before the end of
the year because QWest.net was going away.  I called QWest and told them that
I use Linux, and I don't want MSN.  The rep told me to basically ignore the 
letter and that the QWest.net stuff will still work in 2002.

Eh, even if it doesn't, like Sean said, I can switch to another IP provider.
