> Minimum:
> 2 static IP's
> space for a tower case

> Would be nice
> 3 static IPs
> space for a tower and a mid case

> BT cant help cos of their messups, and my line wont go active for a month.
> Virgin take 21 days to get me a line up, so that's not feasable. Even
> ineedbroadband cant help as I am in a blackspot. Colo hosting wont help cos
> they aren't rackable servers and so the costs are *hideous*, to the rate of
> the cost of 4U of servers for each machine. I'm utterly out of options.
>
> So, does anyone out there have an ADSL line or something in their house with
> 2-3 spare static IPs and space for one or two boxes for a period of about a
> month.

> Id happily pay someone something reasonable, and/or buy many pints as thanks

> Expected costs for it would be no more than £10 worth of electricity for

> If anyone could help, I would be hugely indebted.
