[Nfb-web] VPS and Cloud Computing

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello Peter:

     I have used Vianet. the service has been excellent. their system is 
Linux based. Brian Buhrow does tech support, so when I have had questions, 
he has been able to help me. Since Brian is blind, he knows about adaptive 
technology and alternative techniques. Hope this helps.

Regards,

Robert Jaquiss
