If I lose my mind and decide to run hobby servers again for free, I would
probably go back to using the line that's coming through the wall to the
FlowPoint, which doesn't appear to have anyone claiming it from me, though I
think it's actually the former Netaxs's and I probably should turn it in when I
get my server out of colo.
I think that line can just plug straight into a small router, which is
essentially what the FlowPoint is, if I understand correctly.

If the British are the lead in this, the telcos are going to start selling
barebones directly to end users, residential as well as commercial. For now,
this works.
I also am very tired of role account spam due to NetSol's practices or why ever
I get what I get at contact@ogoense.net.
