If you just need a static IP (and not whatever else they include in "business"
if anything), consider going with a reseller. (DCA.net is the one I use -
they resell verizon/covad - currently you get up to 1.5/384 for 52ドル/month
(inc tax)). DCA doesn't have 24x7 tech support (I think it's 8-8 and half
days on weekends), if that's an issue, but there may be people who do.
I might also add to my last comments that I do ALL of my own services - name serving, mail, web, etc. So I need Verizon or whomever to do nothing but supply me with a data port and IP address. According to their (Verizon) info with Business DSL they supply a lot I would not use. I don't want their domain name, mail, webpage etc. The unlimited dialup is nice I guess in a pinch.
I also have Verizon home service package - wired line and two Verizon Cell phones. I am assuming that there would be some discount using all of their services. At least they state that.
That being said, it would still be nice to deal with a more linux/server friendly supplier like DCA if I could.
Maybe a dynamic ip plus use of dyndns.org could work for you? -- Kam Salisbury http://kamsalisbury.com ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
