watch out though as Dingoblue (and hence optus I gather since I don't think there's anything special with the hardware/connection for dingoblue versus optusnet customers) block inbound ports 25 and 80 (and possibly others). This means you can't run your own web or mail server (well not on standard ports or not without some trickery).
