I have a fixed IP with CenturyLink. Getting a fixed IP was a bitch, but using Linux actually helped get to the right people to get it done. (I told them I run my own mail server. Had to turn on port 25 on their web page config and everything worked fine.) The problem i have with them is they started capping service. As of February you will get nastygrams if you use "too much" bandwidth. (They just cut and pasted what Comcast did with their service.) They have the same bandwidth cap for 12mbs as it is for 40mbs. I calculated that at 40mbs you could reach your bandwidth restriction for the month in 14 hours. (I cut my service back to 12mbs when I found that out. Not going to pay $50+ a month for little or no benefit.) Buying your own modem is a good idea. My Q1000 overheats too often. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
