Yes most interesting, i sometimes think such a service would prove
sufficient for my needs as well, i think I would swap 6 meg downloads for
512k or 256k and a static IP given the expected loadings due to xtra's flat
rate charging (and others). I suspect our high bandwidth downloads will
deteriorate over time, certainly over the last 2 months that is my
impression.
The ordering of c class IP ranges is interesting, I have long thought that
Americans can get IPs fairly easily compared to NZ (if not the rest of the
world).
Thing
This message just came into my mailbox from the support maillist for my
web server. Nice to know some customers somewhere are getting what I
want. I would gladly pay the same, and accept the lower speeds if I could
pick up the other features. (particlularly a telco/ISP that wanted me to
use
the system - wow)

Hi all. I have a DSL line (256k downstream / 64k upstream) here in
Portland, Oregon. I pay my phone company(GTE) $35/mo, this
includes my modem and the install. I also have an ISP that
charges me $17.95/mo. this includes my bandwidth and my static
IP address. They have no problem with me running a server, infact
they encourage it! Not to sure about the proxy part, I am currently
trying to get it up and running (if there was only 25 hours in a day!!)
Hope this helps Donnie On 8 Jun 99, at 10:05, Dan Dise wrote:
