        Indeed you do.  Thanks you very much for the info.  Of course, the end result 
is pretty much what I expected:  That I have to pay them to get a public 
(static) ip address.  I suppose $6 isn't outrageous.  The only problem is 
that I currently have three different MAC addresses signed up (in my same 
name, but their automatic system didn't seem to mind) for my three boxes, and 
they're connecting to their router through my hub.  I suppose I'll link them 
all and just give one main server the external address to save $12/mo.   My 
only question is whether the extra $6 gives you more bandwidth in addition to 
the static & public ip address, because what I really want is more bandwidth 
to my main desktop and a public address for my main server.  I guess I could 
set one of them up as a DNS server, though I've never done that before.  
Would y'all recommend that, or do you have any better suggestions?
