They have plans for consumers and businesses, but their agreement stipulates you can't run DNS servers under any of their plans. Rogers has also banned email servers. Well, you can't send email using port 25, so authenticating with their servers first is necessary. In the end, the effect is the same. I've been looking for a DSL alternative for years, but in my area there are no other options. Regards, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Systems Aligned Inc. www.systemsaligned.com
