Everest Residential Service

[Seth Dimbert]

Matt I did exactly what you're describing with an old Macintosh clone.
Before you start paying for a static IP, consider no-ip.com. I use their
free service for sdimbert.servehttp.com which is a test PostNuke install I
use as a staging server. I've *never* had any problems with their free
service; I can only assume things work just as well when you pay for them.

- | If that's true, it's pretty incredible...but that's a bit hard
- | to swallow.
- |
- | Sounds like what I need to do is check with Everest and TW and
- | try to get
- | the best deal on a tv/internet package.  Then again, maybe I
- | should skip the
- | tv part.  Most of that stuff seems to be pretty trashy these
- | days.  After
- | 12pm, if you watch HBO, all you get is straight porn.  And I
- | wish there was
- | a way to block "reality tv" shows.   One word:  Catastophe
- |
- | I _am_ stoked about highspeed internet and getting a little
- | linux box up as
- | a personal server in my new place.  I have some old hardware I
- | hope to use
- | to peice together a nice little box.
