However, since I'm such a nice and pleasant person, I'll do it for you
just this once:
OS: NetBSD 2.02_STABLE
Accessible vie dialup, telnet & ssh
Support: available, I imagine
Shells: sh, csh, ksh, ksh93, pdksh, bash, tcsh & zsh
Editors: ed, ex, vi, nvi, bvi, vim, vile, emacs, uemacs, beav, zile, ce,
jed, jove, pico, nano, ee, hnb, ne, ve
Space: 100MB home/100MB web for the $36 lifetime price; $20/yr for each
100MB extra
Web Page: available by default
PHP: available
CGI: available
Lisp: available
Java: no available
Perl: 5.8.7, better than your ISP provides
In other words, a better deal for less money.

freeshell.org has been around since '87. Certainly, it's possible that
they could go out of business--but given the $20/mo you pay now, their
$36/lifetime will pay for itself in two months--every month after that
is gravy.
Your excuses for not finding work sound like your excuses for not
finding a better provider, and both sets of excuses sound an awful lot
like my own excuses for not finding a date. You've inspired me to
resolve that particular issue--perhaps someday you'll be inspired to
resolve your own.

One foot is approximately the distance travelled by light in one nanosecond.
One metre is the distance travelled by light in 3.335641... nanoseconds.
Which is more scientific?
