eventually you're going to want physical access to it, so you're probably going to need some place local.

Yeah, good point. I do live in the California bay area so it seems like there might be someplace around here.

Have you called your local mom&pop&(and their geek son) ISPs to see if they'll do it?

Nope, but that isn't a bad idea. Thanks.

A better option is probably the Cyberonic DSL deal with a 1.5/768 line to your house for $50 a month. Then put your loud server down in a basement or up in an attic.

Well, I already have dsl, but I would like to be able to burst above that speed for the occasional file transfer. 1.5 symmetric would probably be good enough, but I don't have a basement/attic as I live in an apartment and there is nowhere here I could put the netra and not be able to here it.
