Always like when people have miracle solutions. Care to suggest just _one_ that does it for $36 a month? That includes:
- Static IP
- 384k up
- 1.5m down
- historically very high reliability
- national dial-up account included
- 50 meg attachements authorized
- mailing list traffic (large number of recipients)

I'm all ears?
