[lug] Running Linux Servers over DSL

I'm sharing a T1 with a colleague here in Boulder, and while the service
is nice and fast, it's a bit pricey ($125/mo for my business.) I run only
one low-volumne Linux web/ftp/mail server, and occasionally I fire up a
second server for experiments. The mail server handles only mail for me
personally, and my file transfer needs are only a few tens of MB a month
typically. So a T1 is really overkill for me.

I'm wondering if a DSL line might be a more appropriate alternative for my
needs. However, I still want to be able to use my own machine for a server
and retain the ability to do what I like with it.

Any suggestions?
