Hi all,
        I'm sure one or many of you may have come across this problem.
My company presently has a permanent dialup connection, which I was
assigned several ip addresses, so I was able to set up a small mail and
web server. This runs fine for what we do, however downloading is slow,
and the amount we download, cable was a better option, but I have since
found out that you can't get any permanent ip addresses. crap I said to
myself. The operator that I talked to (one of many) mentioned that I
could go via a third party and do dynamic to static ip translation or
something, which sounded fine, but there is the catch of having an extra
suffice at the end of the domain name.

So my question is there any other options in this price range, ADSL is
apparently the same. I've heard of ISDN but that sounded expensive. I
could host my domain name somewhere, but for my needs I might as well
keep what I've got. I know I never get many hits on the webpage, so I'm
not too concern about that, and I've never problems sending email.

any suggestions, comments, annecdotes about what I might be able to do
would be appreciated

cheers

Johann
