Linux with swbell dsl?

[Marvin Bellamy]

I forgot to mention that, just assumed basic service.  If you have a 
dynamic IP (basic service), there is a website called dyndns.org that 
can automatically remap your IP to a domain name for you.  It's very 
cheap, I think they take a minimum $30 donation, but it's a one-time 
fee.  Well worth it and I've only heard good things about the service.
