Sorry, I was tired when I wrote. If I go with "at my house" it'd have to be when I got back from Austria. I've heard some people voice the opinion that dyndns was a "wrong" solution....it's not, I take it. >Speakeasy is a good ISP to go with for this sort of thing.

This would be >ideal if you want to learn more about running a server. It does look pretty cool...a little more expensive that I'd want right now though. Thanks for the responses. I'll probably go with BlueHost for a year while I learn a bit more about running a server, then run it myself. :-) Michael -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
