Good tip. My biz isp sells them for $30/month. I'd get a linode first.

But with rsync, dvcs (I use hg), and even davcal (which I turned off for some reason I've now forgotten- I just use Google), life is pretty sweet.

Strange stuff. My current dirt-cheap residential connection assigned me a static address for no cost.

Static address or dynamic-but-never-changes address?

My IP almost never changes (it's been the same for at least two years), but I still can't run an SMTP server off of it, since it's listed in Spamhaus' PBL[1], so many servers refuse my mail.

Certainly static. My hostname is .static..com.au.
