These prices are kind of high.  144K IDSL is $95/month here.

Drop me a note with all your phone numbers if you are interested and I can
get your line tested for free.

Check out dslreports.com  I ended up going with covad and concentric for
my IDSL.  For $125/mo I get 144K/144K dedicated.  For an additional $7/mo
I get 32 Static IP Addresses.  The "router" is an external box, with a
4port ethernet hub built into the back and does IP packet filtering.

Wow. That's a really useful service. Thanks. But, why did you pick
Concentric. I mean, the reviewers on dslreports absolutely TRASHED them.

Covad. Covad _will_ qualify me. With Hostpro I can get everything I need
(webhosting 100MB including CGI and Java Servlets, email boxes, 1 static IP)
for $139/mo. (IDSL is 144K symmetric DSL over ISDN). They'll setup and
install, and provide the Flowpoint 144 hardware for free with a one-year
commitment.

with Ryan Kirkpatrick's High-Speed rural thread. That's my situation too,
BTW)

Flowpoint not to route or masquerade, give the one static IP address to my
Linux firewalling/proxy/masquerading router, and I'm in business. Hostpro
seemed to think that would work but also seemed a little uncertain.
