Yes, of course. Someone on another list Jeff and I subscribe to was asking
about the possibilities of having a small project server. Something that
would be accessible to friends and family during certain times. The limiting
factor was the dynamic IP.

The plug was partly tongue-in-cheek. I don't expect anyone to really run a
dedicated web server off of dialup.

Thanks,
Sam
