I am transitioning to the Correct Way. A local company, pdxcolo.net, rents User Mode Linux virtual machines for $20/month. Over the next month, I will be moving my services to the pdxcolo "machine", and connecting them to SSH tunnels *outbound* from my firewall. There will be no incoming services to my firewall. I will send most of my outbound mail through smtp.comcast.net, not through pdxcolo, to keep bandwidth through pdxcolo down. There are some details omitted, but I hope to describe those at www.keithl.com/comcast.html as I learn more.

Keith, You might check if Comcast has other sub ISPs that allow servers. TimeWarner used to only have RoadRunner which disallows servers. Now they also have AOL, Stic.net, and Earthlink. Stic.net and Earthlink allow non-commercial servers on residential accounts and do not block ports. I use Earthlink now for this reason.

Thanks,

Dale
