My domain is currently hosted from a "bridged" type DSL connection on a static ip. Makes setup pretty nice and easy. I have not seen any information from my ISP that that type of connection is going to change, either. Unfortunately, I think they're probably limited in where they can sell service, but maybe not since they're just the ISP to be used on top of a DSL line from your local phone company. You might try them - http://www.august.net Their tech support has been pretty helpful and responsive in my experience - they stayed on the phone with me for the 45 minutes it took to troubleshoot a connection problem between them and my phone company (without asking me to do the "Top 10 million things to have a Windows user do before you believe them" list). Apparently most of their users are from the other phone company in my area, so nobody had reported the problem yet when I signed up. So far, that's the been the first and only problem I've had...
