[olug] Cox Issues Was: Cox sucks

[Jay Swackhamer]

First national is getting rid of any straight co-location.

They are only interested in co-location where they provide the OS  
support at somewhere around $400/month per server for windows servers.  
Prices go up if you actually want them to do anything.


What is a good group-pricing for olug co-location?
$5/per U?
