This site is hosted using a free dns service so the dynamic IP is not a problem. This is no big deal site Just a collection of family info. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David Papp Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 4:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [BAWUG] SBC DSL and Wireless Just to add my 2 cents, I recently needed a new ISP due to Direct TV leaving the DSL market and came up with Netrox.net- They are out of Miami and also offer a DSL-static IP for $60.00 month- no PPPoE!! --in case any of you are in southern Fla I do not, I repeat, I DO NOT recommend BellSouth- Had them 4 days-PPPoE crap and nothing but bad service and bandwidth!
