You compacters everywhere: Our <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> shares re use of your dialup account for use of your low volume server:
>Be aware people, this may breach your dial-up ISP service agreement/policy. As with advice to discharge CRTs, this is advice proper "to an extent". Yeah, I suppose you can get at crossed swords with your ISP; maybe not. I've set up a Color Classic "Mystic" with a 350 MB hard drive in another family member's closet some forty miles from me. Using a setup similar to that described here in the last week, this Mystic has served as our extended family's low volume server for two years now and I doubt that anyone has even noticed that Color Classic is in the closet or hooked to the phoneline. It is indeed connected to a dialup. We use it to post schedules, group letters, pix of the newest kids and travels, all that kind of stuff. The numbers of people calling in hence the traffic is tiny. In over two years, the ISP has not raised any question while all of us have happily been sharing stupid holiday letters, graduation announcements, maps to grandma's funeral, and pictures of kids young and old doing silly things. The trick we mastered at the gitgo was to keep control of the url. We have. Should your ISP raise the issue, begging forgiveness along with a check for the resubscription fee goes alot furthur with an ISP than asking them for permission at the start. Besides, you were probably going to change from that mean, cranky, hostile ISP anyhow. Bill -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
