Okay, thnx for the info.  I currently have Register.com hosting my dns,
but when I get on irc I wanna be elite like:

me@some.long.saying.at.mydomain.com

instead of

me@pcp32524555234523ps.olathe01.ks.comcast.net  (hey, I said I'm moving)

lol  :)

anyways, thanks for the input

Subject: Re: Everest Residential Service

The whole package does include all listed below, but the upstream on the
cable modem is 256K.  We offer a business package with a 1.0Mbps
upstream
(and higher), but it is not available to residential subscribers.  You
can
then add the static IPs to your account.  We wouldn't do any DNS records
with those IP addresses.  I just use DirectNIC to do all my DNS for my
domains.  They're pretty cheap.

I'll also kill 2 birds with one stone in this message since there were
questions about our financial status.  We have made moves to stop growth
but
that doesn't mean that we are going to shut down.  We are in a good
financial state at this time and we have a business that makes money
without
needing additional capital from outside sources.

I spoke with an Everest Rep on the phone a little while back and was
inquiring about services / connection speeds.  They told me that if I
got the 'whole package' (cable tv, cable i-net, phone (I think?)) then
you could also have bandwidth equal to 3M down / 1M up for something
like $125/mon.

I don't know if you can answer that or not, but do you know if they
offer those speeds still?  Could I throw the $12.95 on top of that for a
static ip too?  Could I get Everest to use the domain name that I have
registered then also?

If anyone knows, I would appreciate it b/c I am looking at apartments
right now and that would definitely be a deciding factor.

Thnx
