Hello again! I wanted to thank everyone for ideas on T1 access. Given the recommendations for Alex Aminoff, I contacted Alex. We worked out a cost-effective, T1-access solution which he has implemented. I expect to begin loading several GB of web-accessible data next week.

I've been lurking for years and now have a question. For small systems such as the one I am working on, hardware, software and administration are within my reach. Connectivity is not. I'm too far from the central TELCO switch to get DSL. I don't have enough volume yet to rent an office with T1 connectivity and I'm displeased with the services I can afford from hosting companies. Acceptable use policies for broadband forbid web hosting from one's home. I have T1 quotes in the range of $600 per month. That's over $7000 per year for connectivity. I don't really need 1.52 MB/sec. I could do with a quarter of that, but I can't find someone who will give me T1/4 for $150 per month. Am I missing any options? How can I get web connectivity for a single Linux box at a rate of $150/month or less? If I can get connectivty to my home, my data transfer needs will probably be only 1 GB/month to access portion of a 10 GB depository. If I had a friend with DSL, I'd beg for the privilege of putting a Linux box at his/her house. Unfortunately, everyone I know has broadband. david at cogley.com --- Send mail for the `bblisa' mailing list to `[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
