Well, I have a colo server that runs slimserver. I normally use it for running SoftSqueeze at work, but there's no reason I shouldn't be able to run my kitchen SB3 off it. I never tried it, but why not right now? I just specified the colo ip address on the SB (via setup networking) and it connected. I had to change the firmware (different version of SS on the colo box) but that was no problem. > I notice that oboe have an unlimited account for $39.95 a year but is > this really unlimited.

Note, that some folks will cringe knowing that this runs over the Internet without ssh tunneling or anything. My colo box runs Linux and I have my home & work IP's (all fixed of course) as exceptions in iptables. Perfectly safe. Playing FLAC files worked fine, so I guess there are no real problems. I haven't tried synching with other players, but I suspect that might be a little more problematic. Oh yes, I'm on a 20 Mbit (downstream) DSL link, so YMMV.
