We have never offered shell accounts as a product. Netcom had their
shell product which we kept but are not selling (no new customers).

IO ( http://www.io.com/ ) offers shell accounts.

But if you are running *nix at home, why use a shell account? ;)
(yes, I realize they are nice to have, esp for debugging and porting).


FYI.
