Hello All,
The issue is not a technical limitation, but more of questionable legality
that's why there is not a warm response. Also, one very easy solution is to get a
wireless friendly ISP which tends to bring you a static IP (most packages). The
cheapest broadband internet (e.g. Road Runner) is not always the best. Lexus, Porsche
anyone, or Kia? ;-) Another big advantage of DSL is the ability to switch providers
(fosters competition), can't say the same about cable modems.
