As for dynamic IP, I don't think a problem like that can hold us back do we? ;) I give it a year or two before it reaches our area. I've has experience in using PLDT's DSL in Makati and I've also noticed the IP address rarely change specially if you keep it connected 24hrs. If I were still in Manila, 4DBBS would've been offering limited internet access by now, I don't mind 3KBps less from 30KBps anyway. > > And, to veer the discussion back on-topic, you can check > http://www.linux.davecentral.com (hope it's still there, haven't checked in a > while) for BBS software.
