Hi Sean,

PK> PS: If you have Cable or ADSL why would you want ISDN??? over here
PK> ISDN is far too expensive to even consider, its more than 2 times the
PK> price of the cheapest ADSL.

SD> Because it is specifically against the terms of service
SD> with my cable internet provider to be running servers
SD> of any kind, period.

Ahaaa, one of THOSE types of "providers" (that take away more than they
provide...). They are idiots, because many standard software products contain
servers within them and they NEED them there to be able to operate.

There are ways to stay within the bounds of their "no servers" restriction and
still do what you want. Netmail me for more info.

SD> They can very
SD> easily just say "you've been running servers" and deny
SD> me service,

One would expect they would have to prove that though, otherise you may have a
valid complaint to your regularitory authority...

SD> There is no other cable provider on this side of town
SD> save for that one.

Then that just limits the options, but it is still not the end of life as we
know it.........;-)


SD> ISDN here is actually pretty cheap and it's more
SD> reliable than the crappy residential ASDL offered here
SD> also.

I am surprised, considering both services operate using the same copper cable
delivered to your door, the only difference is the bits that plug on the ends
of the cable and humans that "drive" the service. That suggests to me you may
have providers that may not know what they are doing.

Cheers.............pk.
