Once again, Good News from Intrex.Net! :)
We're also rolling out the 3M/368k DSL service, and would be glad to have you (and other TriLUGers bit by the same problem) as a customer. We have worked up a special package available only to TriLUG members, specifically to address this problem. The service goes something like this:
3Mbit / 384Kbit - $54.99 / month with a blocked dynamic IP address (no servers, or business customers)
Residential Static IP address - $5 (good for VPN, remote management, etc)
Unblocked Static IP address - $10 (good for hosting servers, mail, dns, web, etc)
Total cost for what you were expecting from BellSouth, $64.99 / month. 3 Megabits download, 384Kilobits upload, and the freedom to run what ever servers you'd like.
We are not normally going to offer an unblocked IP address to residential customers. Non-TriLUG members, to get the same benefit, would have to subscribe to the business class service (which we will sell you on a residential line, by the way). The business class service will be a bit more expensive, but comes with a wide-open static IP address. It will still be significantly cheaper than the BellSouth business class service.
We're also offering two other slower DSL services, including a budget 256Kbit / 128Kbit service for $34.99 / month, as well as a standard 1.5Mbit / 256Kbit service for $49.99 / month. The same static IP address layouts apply for these services, as well as the option to get an unblocked static IP address for only $10 / month.
If anyone has any questions about the new services, or the other Intrex TriLUG discounts, feel free to give me a call at our offices (919) 573-5488 x102.

Well, Bellsouth suckered me into upgrading to thier extreme package and unbenknownst to me they are blocking incoming and outgoing ports 25, 139 and a few other odd ones. I could care less about samba, but I'm more worried about mail. Has anyone on the list had to work around a closed port 25, and how did you do it. I've already looked into MOXY since I have access to several servers, but I don't want to create my personal accounts on these machines. So I could switch sendmail to listen on port 26 and have a different machine mail proxy the messages to me. Another thought I had was to setup some sort of mail collection server that received [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put it into a spool file that I pop'd into, pulled down and fed to sendmail or procmail. Does anyone else have any other suggestions, what has worked best for others?
TIA
