Thanks for the advice, I really do appreciate it.  I'm sure there are many
ways out of the contract and if I really need to, I'll find one.  But I've
already got a couple things moving with respect to my situation and I want
to see how they play out.

Worst case, I'll setup a tunnel to the Real World for VoIP and then start
collecting as many iso images as I can until my contract is up.  I wonder
how long it would take to fill a 100 CD spindle with different Linux
distros...?  :)
