OT. It you have a static IP address and you will never need an ISP again. I have a T1 at home and office. It's not as expensive as you might think - any questions I doesn't look like a static IP address and a domain name (like .com) are the same. I just got a renewal notice from InterNIC and the only IP it mentions is my ISP's one. I sent a ping to my domain name. It gave me IP that looked like ISP's one, except the last two digits. I tried to use this IP with the browser and got bounced by the ISP's server, but I could reach my web site by using my domain name. Then I used "ping -a" option and it gave me ISP's name, not mine. So, I guess, having .com doesn't necessarily mean having a static IP. And even if I have the one, a price tag for T1 would be several hundred dollars a month. I'd appreciate if you can shed some light on it.
