Forget Telstras service, it is at best a service prices for medium to large
business with features only basic home Internet users use.

You must use DHCP so can not publish on the net yourself, must connect
through their proxy, must use their software (which has already been
pointed out as somewhat O/S limited (they didn't even know what NT was when
I asked)).

I also contacted Optus about their upcomming service.  Apparantely their
network will provide all the remaining features Telstra's doesn't, like
static IP for DNS registration, no firewall, lower costs etc.  One can only
hope.
