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.
