It would be cheaper to get a database driven web site from a local ISP. I'm not talking co-locationm, just find an ISP that does MySQL and supports whatever language your writing your web application in. It will be a whole lot cheaper then the 1Mb telco fee from Qworst. A helluva lot cheaper once you through the ISP charges on top of that. Given the rash of Code Red and Qwests crappy support, I would not put "stable", and "reliable", in with Qwest DSL. If you want a sales pitch from Real Time, send me private email and I'll tell you want we support and what it costs. -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
