I have myself a connexant accessrunner pci card, it works pretty well. The
driver is non-free but it is reliable, I think it can do a max of 1mb up and
4mb down (obviously I only have 1mb down and 256k up)

I was thinking, are there any providers that are willing to allow more than
0.5mbit upload? Is this somthing that the ISP gets much control over? (mine are
pretty friendly and human, I might ask them)
