[SATLUG] ISP that doesn't support Linux

[Dave]

Just looking at Whois and nslookup it looks like the Guadalupe Valley
Telephone Cooperative's DNS servers are:
AUTH1.gvtc.com	internet address = 216.177.160.39
AUTH2.gvtc.com	internet address = 216.177.160.40

Don't know how much closer that gets you, or if those work for the
dialup, or just their corporate network, but it's a start.
