I called business sales months ago, and they refused to offer business service at my address. Thanks to all who have commented. This has been educational. I didn't know that MediaOne put in a no-server rule ages ago to impede gamers; now Comcast gives directions to gamers on how to set up the service. If I understand right, gaming requires open ports, which the aptly-termed abuse department forbids. Go figure. However, today I am happy: within 24 hours of my order, VZ had my DSL ready for use. Sure, it's probably got screwy port-blocking too, but at $20/mo, I'm willing to accept more inconvenience than at $43/mo. Maybe I should try to find some company that operates internet service for apartment complexes. --RC -- The cable company: It's Craptastic!
