I talked to the sales guys, they said "Nope, no webserver or mail server allowed, we block 80 and 25." I talked to tech support they said "Grab a static IP, and ports 80 and 25 are opened up for you." So I shelled out the extra $20/month for the static IP. For the most part, the service I get is pretty good. Bandwidth is nice, as they have laid fiber in their service area, so you're getting 3.0mb up and about 800 down, or so they advertise. Personally, I generally get better.. -- Christopher Mann Systems Administrator Stonebridge Bank cmann@stonebridgebank.com *This email has been digitally signed using GnuPG.* Attachment:
