RE: Anyone hosted a web site using IDSL?

[booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Unless you have a real business need to keep your site locally, let a firm 
that specializes in hosting sites hold your stuff, with links to your 
machine as needed.  My site is pretty simple and costs $4.96/month plus 
$1/extra mailbox.   I maintain it right from my machine.  The provider has 
lots of servers, big pipes, and a pleasant manner.  Did I mention, he has 
big pipes and costs $4.96/month?

The cable companies around here don't offer static IP addresses, so that
option is out.

The price of a T1 around here is $1500 per month.  I don't think I'll need
that kind of bandwidth to start.  Also, the phone company here says they
can't split a T1.

I'm concerned about the speed if IDSL.  To alleviate a bandwidth 
bottleneck,
I've considered using two (2) IDSL lines - one routed to an AS/400  server
that could handle software demos and customer support applications, the
other routed to a Linux server for file downloads.

Any other suggestions?
