That seems pretty cheap to me. $37/mo if you use a DHCP address? That's
even tempting for me.

I will say one thing about going with FRII, although it sounds as if this
might not be something you'd use, but if you have an ISP account with
them, you get their MailArmory spam filtering thrown in. In fact, it's
probably the #2 reason I'm still with them. The #1 reason is the
combination of economics and intertia. #3 is dealing with a change in
e-mail address, which really isn't that big of a deal.
