You visited my website, so you saw how fast the response time was. If you try visiting my websites a few more times during the week, you will then have a general idea of how well my DSL service is handling the load. I see about 200-300 visitors per day, on average, generating about 2,000-3,000 page hits per day. I am using an ATT-SBC-Yahoo commercial DSL account, which provides me with 5 static IP addresses and speeds of 3.0 Mbps downstream, 512 Kbps upstream. My entire bill...hardline service for one phone line and DSL, local calling package and long distance economy package is right around $107.00 per month. I did have to pay a one-time surcharge of about $300.00 when I upgraded from the residential DSL account I had originally signed up for. I do not know much about T1 connections, but here is something I googled up on the fly: http://www.rfcnet.com/t1specials.php?gclid=CInogO2suooCFQITIgodoFVuPg Setting up what I now have running required that I learn a lot about various things, like the OpenBSD operating system, setting up DHCP, building and troubleshooting computers, getting my servers to work correctly with my router, to get DNS resolution. I also had to learn how to customise a lot of configuration files for things related to Apache web server, sendmail, and other things in the OS. I filled in the details a bit at a time, over the course of several years, using Yahoo groups like this one and 1PCBuilder, and books purchased for pennies on the dollar on eBay, and reading a LOT of manual pages, and doing a LOT of Google searches. Doing things the way I am doing them took a lot of study, but I like understanding what I am doing as much as possible, and having as much control over my computing as I can, so for me, it was worth it. You might be able to accomplish the same thing for less money and less work, by hosting your websites with a service like GoDaddy... where I was hosting my sites for a fee of $3.99/month/site, prior to my getting the server up and running. Changing the subject... I see that you are using: X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express ...to send email. I am not sure if this a function of Outlook Express, or how you are composing your emails, but I am receiving emails that are all one single paragraph. This makes them, for me at least, difficult to read. You might want to consider breaking them up into shorter paragraphs, with one idea per paragraph. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/ . http://robertwittig.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.
