that reminds me of the other DSL bonus.. USWest is having a little bit fo
software trouble.. if you buy the 256K package, they can't restrict it to
256K.. so until they figure it out.. you will likely get 640 or so.. depending
on location.

yes.. you are right about the 8 IP's with USwest service.  from what i have
seen the IP's arnt static, but are dynamicaly requested by the DSL box.. so as
long as the DSL box turned on.. you will keep the same IP's.. (time to get a
UPS :)
