You are quite correct. On re-reading my post, I was over-zealous in
my cutting. I was responding only to the second part of the post "Ie if
you shop around you'll find an ISP that allows it".

The ISP does provide the bandwidth, but can not provide the static IP,
only a range of IP's. (I am talking at about Jetstart at the PPP layer
here, not VPN hacking). This is true in 99% of the cases. I am aware
of 1 exception to this rule, which has to do with a few ISP's forcing
Telecom to deliver Jetstart before they had circuits installed.
