And you wouldn't believe what I pay for UUNet sDSL. But then again, I have
384K upstream and 6 world-routable static addresses. Whee. 

See also http://www.earthops.net/ and http://media.earthops.net/ and on the
other end of the dual-homed network, see the old standby
http://earthops.org/ 24/7 POTS from Heller. For, interestingly, the same
price as the DSL from UUNet.

Anyone need page space or shell accounts? script kiddies need not apply.
