I will search for a Static IP, but $170 is a bundle to pay for. The
Local ISP here has a shell account for FIDO email/bulletin board
servers, but I can't get GBBS/ACOS to work strange...with an old USR
14.4k modem, thats why I ran METAL bcuase I could get it working with
a Supra generic. I will keep lookingfor new ways to run a BBS. If
there are any other ISP's like "no-ip" Please let me know.
