They're still testing them and the roll-out won't be for a while.  I've got the
basic $49.95 package (first month free for signing on line, $39.95 for next two
or three months, then $49.95, and yes, I saw your other post).

They've changed their TOS to allow servers as long as there's not commercial
levels of traffic.  One friend uses dyndns to keep his domain connected.

What I have now is the 768 dynamic IP package.
