(so far, no one's needed anything more than a /26, or in Class C terms, one fourth of a C) It's not an issue to go maintain and update the reverse records as they need to be changed. They make a change, they send an email. It's realy quite simple. >Am I being unreasonable in thinking they should provide this to me for a >1.1 Mbit connection (only $200 a month tho)? > Yeah. When you go shopping for el-cheapo bandwidth, you're getting the ISPs that are A) Going to nickel and dime you every chance they get B) Don't provide a good service C) Are cheap themselves, and do things in a 'el cheapo' mannor. Pay a fair amount, for a fair amount of service. I fell into the trap of a cheapo ISP once, and while it let me grow, without sucking away all my money, the headaches that came along with it cost me more than the money I was saving. If you're seroius about being on the Internet, you should be ready to pay a seroius amount of money. -Jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Internet speeds will increase, and costs will decrease at an alarming rate.
