I pay $82/month for my cable net connection and phone line, this includes the cable modem rental. There is a data limit of 10gigs/month but national traffic is only counted as a tenth. In effect giving 100gig/month national. Traffic from Paradise servers don't count towards your limit at all. This includes the servers at gamers.paradise.net.nz and debian.paradise.net.nz The static ip is great, you can get a domain name and they will do the DNS for nothing extra. -- Adrian Robertson Christchurch New Zealand ICQ: 72041173 http://www.gotroot.net.nz/
