Anyhow, I'm wondering if there is a way to get a home connection to the internet with a fixed IP and 24x7 DSL with decent duplex through. I'll run my own mail and news servers rather than suffereing my ISPs idea of service.
TIA for any suggestions,

for some reason, I never got the original of this message and that seems to be a recurring problem between my pc and this list - thanks to vulpine for overquoting this time. otherwise I would not have the full message now. anyway -- I agree, I want to set up my own websites, elists, etc on a Linux Server. get them off Yahoo, etc. Static dsn is very expensive though. understandably perhaps, considering what all sort of traffic can be run on a static line. Questions though -- I guess it is just a matter of getting the proper hook ups and periphs and s/w etc. Is there anyone on the list who has done this or is doing this?? I am using Suse 7.1. thanks chas -- RKBA! Charles L Hamilton Houston, TX Rot13 email: punfz@fpuhrgmrazrvfgre.bet X-NO-ARCHIVE: YES
