In Dallas (TX, US), SBC provides DSL with the option of Business Class DSL, providing 5 static IP's. I believe that on the west coast, PacBell provides standard class DSL with one static IP (they did a year ago). Business Class DSL costs $75/mo, while the PacBell thing was around $40/mo if I rememb
