Yes, but you can do the same thing with a dynamic IP address and a dynamic DNS service. A static IP is not a requirement to "host" anything. I ran a home mail/web server for many years on SBC DSL with a dynamic (PPPoE) address. Many tens of thousands of other geeks have as well. :) -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
