Re: recommend a shell account provider?

I'm looking for a shell account provider. My needs are simple:
email service (preferably spool rather than imap/pop)
some disk space
dependable net connection, uptime, and disaster recovery
vim, mutt, lynx, w3m, tcsh, bash, sed, awk, grep, (procmail?)
Can anyone recommend such a service? An encrypted filesystem I could mount
at login and unmount at logout would be really nice, too.
I use Verio. Mail spool, procmail, lynx, tcsh, grep, probably sed, awk,
don't know about the rest, includes a domain name and website. 24.95/mo.
No filesystem mount I am aware of.
Problem is I got this account as a "grandfather clause" from having a
similar account with Best before they were bought by Verio. I don't
know if they offer this kind of deal to new users; my impression is they
are pushing people to use a Web interface to administer their websites
since you can really mess things up with a shell interface.
