As a followup to the enclosed post, I am currently trying to hook up a 
Linux system to Digex with a fulltime dialin IP. The deal is $1200 up 
front (breaks down to $100/month) for a dedicated dialin IP.  The cost of 
domain registration is around $50. You also get a shell account for 
system adminstration using their regular dialin service numbers.

Where am I in the Process.

I've ordered the service and we are currently waiting for the domain 
name.  Meanwhile I am adding USR 28.8 modems to the system (one for Digex 
connection and the other for dialin from home) this will mean using 4 
comm ports (See setserial).  The platform is a 486dx 66, 16 MB memory, 1 
GB SCSI drive, SCSI CD-ROM.  The system will be a combo of a WWW 
server, email, and ftp server for a small data conversion business.  I'll 
post a lessons learned, if there is any interest.
