Well, like I said, Speakeasy has everything on that list (for $65, not $500),
they just don't have service in Louisianna (the customer service rep said I
could thank BellSouth for that, so I won't be using them).  

Looks like the solution for me is going to be to put my servers on Slicehost
(www.slicehost.com) for $20/month and get a cheap whatever for my home
internet access.  The idea of running servers on a home DSL is daunting
enough, but without good customer service it would be crazy.  With Speakeasy I
was able to get almost 99.9% uptime on my servers, but without their
outstanding customer service several of the outages I had would have lasted
days instead of hours.  Now that virtual hosting is so cheap it makes more
sense to use virtual hosting for low-cost hobby servers (when I started
running my own servers colo hosting was 5x what virtual hosting costs now).

P.S. My late reply on this is because I forgot to put the trailing '/' in the
procmail rule for this list and they were all delivered in mbox format and not
seen!
