True, but if you're going to run a server, do you want DSL that might be down for a couple of days (no uptime guarantee, get your $14.95 refunded for that month), or trying to get past a script-reading drone who insists that you provide the output of some Windows control panel when you can see plaina s day that your cable modem has lost synch? -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
