Aah, I was only looking at Business class accounts. Do the home ones (which are the ones for $75/month) have a fixed IP? I see nothing in there that mentions it. Since the OP was mentioning fixed IP as a requirement, I figured the home service probably wouldn't fit the bill - I've never seen a home service with fixed IP (doesn't mean it doesn't exist...). And yes, the business class service doesn't seem to mention it explicitly either, but since they're talking multiple IP addresses assigned to the client, I assume they do fixed IP. Yes, they've got some nice cheap home connections. But their business ones aren't the low end of the spectrum. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <disclaimer.h> Matthew Palmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
