you get a static IP with Cable with TelstraClear not ADSL unless you are a business, and thats a telecom thing. Which is completely stupid and illigical, considering my connection has been up for ...well now Iliik its been 16days as I forgot I rebooted my router when I accidently unplugged it....but before that it was over 60 days !! thats a pretty static IP address if you ask me ! The ISP I uses before T/Clear was a local crowed called SNAP, and their service was all OVER the place !! the connection never stayed up more than 4-5 days at a time. They told me it was my line, which I knew was total crap, as before them I was with Paradise and never had any problems, and now I have goent o T/Clear, my connection is completely stable....

I haven't got the TelstraClear TOS available, but my recollection was that you could run a server at home? Not that I do... Nice that you get a static IP with TelstraClear too. C. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf OfJeremy Coulter Hi Rohit....I thought you were not alowed to run internet servers on your home PC with Xtra? Atleast that was what they told me some time ago, and even Paradise made that comment to me at some stage when I was talking to one of their tech support guys, but then said...."its a stupid and we dont enforce it" and neither does TelstraClear...as I run a mailserver too :-) -----Original Message----- From: Rohit Gupta [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] What Xtra did was to classify their users as home or business. For home users, outlook presumably sorts out the requirement of ssl. And business users are using mail servers so they have to use SSL explicitly. The problem is that there are many users that are businesses without a mail server and home users with a mailserver. They will have problems. Add to that if you application does not support SSL, then you are stuffed. At home, I run a mailserver called hamster. It suddenly stopped working, it was still receiving some emails (not all) but not sending any. I tried the webmail - that did not work with IE or Firefox. I read the old emails from xtra, found one with a url link which forced me to register for yahoo. A page in the middle of the registration told me to change the port numbers. I did that but still no luck. I had heard on the radio about business customers having problems, so I enabled SSL3 on hamster. Now the error message changed, but still no luck. Then I tried SSL2 and it burst into life. When I complained to the CEO, the reply was a link to their website - this one tells you to use SSL :-) Basically, they still treat their customers like shit and act like a monopoly. They only reason I have not changed as that I dont want to change my email address. I will just have to get a domain name for my emails. [snip]
