This is a fascinating thread! I have had multiple class C address blocks assigned to us for many years (since the 80's) I have 2 T1 connections and one of them is up for contract renewal. I have wanted to replace one of the expensive T1s for a long time. DSL and Cable are available here at reasonable prices (no FIOS yet) However, even after they tell me they will do it, no provider will route even a single /24 (/30) for me. Mostly it's Verizon and/or Time Warner. I would love to have another solution. All I really need is to maintain the IPs on my servers so they are public/world accessible. (Email/Web/FTP/telnet(!)) Perhaps I can route to a co-located server then a tunnel back to the server farm over a static IP DSL or Cable link??? I am stumped. Any ideas? Rich
