>>You run a network at home, too, eh? Do you have your server connected to the internet? I am trying to find someone who will connect my server via DSL where I can have all the workstations access the internet via that route. I also want to add a second server for use a web site. So far no luck. All anyone is willing to do so far is connect 1 workstation to DSL.

>Yes; I'm currently switching to snet.net; for $79/month, I get static IP and basic ADSL (~144K outbound, variable 600K-1.5Mbps inbound) sharable through ICS, supporting up to 50 simultaneous connections. I don't even want to discuss the ridiculous rate my previous provider wanted to go static IP via a cable modem connection, but order-of-magnitude difference in cost would be an accurate assessment.

>You can shop DSL availability in your area from www.2wire.com - in my case, the specific DSL service was limited by my distance from the CO (I'm right about at the 17,500' mark, so they had to do some loop checking to guarentee service at all) and different ISPs have different arrangements for shared connections.

Thanks for the tips. I am well within the DSL range. I am more than willing to pay for what I want. I just can't get anyone to agree to do it the way I want.
