Wouldn't host on adsl.

First reason:  adsl is SLOWER upstream than down.

Second reason: adsl usually doesn't come with static IP

Third reason:  adsl usually comes with NO support foranything but
Windows.

Fourth reason: many companies supplying adsl won't even install if your
system is anything BUT Windows.

Fifth reason:  people supporting adsl usually have NO CLUE at all.

Sixth reason:  when adsl is down, it's absolutely LAST PRIORITY for
bringing back up.

(Sorry, don't have the time to get to ten <smile>.)
