Humm... maybe I'll do that. I have 13 IPs and I can just have them do 
host1 - host13.

I've been pretty happy with Covad since I was forced over to them (I've 
had a number of DSL providers, and each time they go broke and my account 
gets bought by the next ISP... this time I landed with Covad who provided 
the last mile from day one to begin with).

I've had a few outages, but Covad has always been responsive, and in fact 
just a week ago was VERY understanding in bumping me up thru the support 
chain to get a problem resolved before I left for vacation (my modem 
power supply was fried during the blackout that hit the North East US, 
and I had to get a replacement configured ASAP as I was leaving for 
vacation the next morning and couldn't leave my company offline for a 
week until I got back).

All in all, I'm pretty happy with their service so far, but I've also 
only been with them a few months. Now if they could only give me a faster 
connection (I'm "cleared" for 768k, but anything over 384k becomes 
unstable, so right now I'm still stuck at the slower speed).
