Well, I can ping it from a dialup connection to atlnet? Figure that
one..

Since I use it for work, I've got to find other alternatives.  Bellsouth
wants to stick you $99 for a static IP, oh, and by the way, that's only
on a business line, so you'd have to have the status of your phone line
changed from residence to business.  What does that do?  Jacks the cost
of the phone line up.  static ip with bellsouth will run you over $110 a
month.

I've left two messages with speakeasy.net over the past two days, still
no call back.

I guess I'll have to look into earthlink now...
