Does that include your Pro web hosting, email boxes, ftp hosting? I'm particularly jazzed about the fact that Hostpro includes Java Servlet hosting. Is that coming to PtP? Would it be possible to get a 16-IP subnet?

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.
