That's pretty cool. However I must point out that Qwest doesn't offer SDSL lines. What they are doing is provisioning the ADSL ports at the same speed up/down. Covad offers both line-sharing ADSL and non line-sharing SDSL lines, which might explain the price difference on the business offerings, but when you factor in that the Covad prices includes everything, even the ISP, is not that far off. Their T1 offering is price-wise pretty good too. I used to have Qwest, but 2 things turned me off them completely. First, I was a early adopter here in MN when they started doing dsl and while the service was awesome, their billing dept. caused me a LOT of grief and took almost a year (and the PUC intervention) to get things straight. Second, a couple of years later I bought my house and ordered their service and by then they had changed their ADSL setup to the G.DMT signal standard instead of the good old CAP setup they had before. Now G.DMT is great, but Qwest had the error-correction feature called interleaving on the cards setup all the way up by default and it was adding 50-60ms of latency to my connection. I was playing MN servers at 80-100 ping when I used to play them in the 20's-30's range. Calling them about it revealed that the Cisco software for the DSLAM's did not allow for the interleaving to be changed. So I cancelled. That was a while ago so I don't know if they have overcome that hurdle. Since you're using a Cisco 675, that tells me you still on a CAP line, so good for you. Pray nothing happens cause you won't get it back, they'll switch you to a DMT setup. Much like you I'm running my own domain at my place on a good ol' AMD K6-2 550Mhz with gentoo on it. I run email, web, ftp and dns servers on it for my domain. I also host a rsync mirror of gentoo's portage. Everything is running with so little effort that you actually wished for something to happen so you don't get bored. Anyway, glad talking to you. -- Jose A.
