we need better "join the 6bone tools"

[lalartu@obscure.org (Shawn Ferry)]

I agree with you there, I am currently in the process of trying to find someone
to connect my site.  It is getting a bit frustrating, just wating for someone
to respond.

I would be willing to keep up the pages, on an opt in basis, although I do not
claim that they will be overly nice to look at(especially if it helps me
get my own connectivity).
