Linux with swbell dsl?

[I am Spartacus]

on a similar note, is anyone on the list currently using SWB DSL to run 
a web site from home?  i'm moving on Thursday and SWB is shipping me the 
DSL self-install kit in a couple of days.  I just wanted to know ahead 
of time if I can continue to run my web site out of my house, or if I 
will need to find a host somewhere.
