Static IP DSL (Was: Re: Where is rlz.ne.mediaone.net?)

[warlord at MIT.EDU (Derek Atkins)]

I just got my HarvardNet 786k SDSL installed and working at home last
week.  I just need to get a small routing problem fixed and I'll be
all set.  It's much better than my old ISDN line.  I haven't yet had a
chance to compare it to my CableModem, but I suspect that, once the
routing problem is fixed, the improved latency will make it even more
usable (even if there is less downstream capacity).
