Well, $315/month is a bit spendy. But you get what you pay for when it comes to DSL. It's cheaper than co-locating, and better than using a dedicated server.. I like having complete control over my hardware and OS setup. I certainly do more than run a HL server. I actually run a small web hosting and design business. > > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > please visit: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds -- Jim Norton - http://www.jimnorton.org "The art of listening is indispensable for the right use of the mind.
