Yeah, I have my Mailman machine, along with three webservers and my private home network, on a DSL line, and I don't think the proposed mail volume would be any problem on his DSL line, which is faster than my 768K/768K line here.
In two years I've had two outages. One was resolved by updating the firmware in the router, the other was 14 hours but was a problem with a Cisco firmware upgrade at the telco end and it took out every static-IP install in the system. Total of 16 hours in two years! I did give the guy my hourly rate for help, I think there are quite a few of us who could help him get started down the right track with just a couple of hours of work. For some, just having a phone number is a lot more comforting than relying on a mailing list. Having a range of options in this regard will make it a lot easier for OpenSource products to grow out there.
