[Xitami] some beginners questions ;-)

[Gunnar Swan]

I'm on a cable modem. I bought their business plan and 
1/4 T1 both ways and dedicated IP's.

I believe you are right about the 'home' cable modems, but there 
are business solutions. 

The business plan cable modem works as well as SDSL.

If you need the outside world to see your server parked down by
your knees, you'll likely need a business plan.

I'm playing $100 per month for 1/4 T1 and 3 ip's
