There is a cheaper solution!
I pay:
Dedicated phone line: $25/mo
ISP charges: $20/mo
Static IP/DNS: $20/yr.
So, I pay about $50/mo, and I am connected 24x7. But of course this
doesn't include the cost of the computer. Mine is a 486/66 w/128MB RAM
(which you can pick up for about $100 used if you shop around), running
Slackware Linux, which you can d/l free. This config with a 33k dialup
is more that sufficient to run Majordomo, a web server, Mhonarc, etc.
