True, but the purpose of the message was to show how someone is doing

I barely get by on the income I Have. Do you think I could afford to do
a 56k lesed line? The thougt has occured to me before. But financially
speaking it's just not an option. And the "vanity" domain is only one of
about three domains going to this machine. I also have a domain that I'm
in process of connecting right now which is not a "vanity domain". If I
was JUST running eglifamily.dnsalias.net then it would be one thing. But
since I'm also running (or about to be running) frankenstein-cpu.com
(just waiting on my CC company to tell me the funds are available and
I'm taking the domain), it's a different story. A COMPLETELY different
story.

That is what I'm doing currently but this whole debate started up when
someone (I thougt you, if I'm wrong I appoligise) said that I should
smarthost EVERYTHING.

I would not argue but ComCast does not offer Business CableModem
service. So until they either offer it or the phone company gets their
Butts in gear and fixes the lines I'm kinda stuck with residential service.
