Huh?!  So... without an ISP... exactly how do you plan to get "Internet 
Service"?  You won't have a routable IP address, dynamic or otherwise.  
You won't have an Internet gateway.  This all means you won't be able to 
do things like "browse the web" or use any of those other "email" 
providers, etc.  So, what you're saying is, you plan to have a hot DSL 
line that does ... what, exactly?

<total sarcasm: off>

Unless the nature of Internet access has changed dramatically in the 
last few years, I fail to see how you'll accomplish any kind of Internet 
service without an ISP; FRII or otherwise.  Please explain for my own 
educational benefit.

Thanks!
