I spoke with EasyStreet. I found their sales associate knowledgeable and 
easy to work with. I had mentioned earlier that I required multiple 
stand-alone servers. EasyStreet told me that this wasn't a problem. 
That's great; the several virtual hosters I've spoken with struck me as 
kind of like the "Model T" of the ISP world, "you can have any distro 
you want so long as it's Red Hat."

Further--and may the geeks forgive me--I'm not interested in mantaining 
the hardware. When there's a problem, I need the hot-swap automatically 
failover while the on-site staff work with the hardware. This is much 
better, of course, than saying to the client, "oh, I'm driving to the 
ISP now. It'll be online, (meekly) I promise."

That's a conversation you _do_not_ want to have. EasyStreet has a plan 
available for just this arrangement.

Thanks for the tip!
