This setup uses NAT, so it's technically very difficult to run
servers, and impossible to get them to run well.

I've been strongly considering the demon offering:
Installation of splitter, modem and router
20Mb commercial web space
Domain name with mail and web forwarding
Electronic fax
Choice of NAT * or non-NAT configuration
Up to 512Kb downstream bandwidth and 256Kb upstream
20:1 contention ratio
Unrestricted TCP/IP traffic, 24 hours a day
24 hour technical support
The non-NAT configuration includes up to 13 usable IP addresses and SMTP
mail.
(95ukp per month)
I'd appreciate it if those with experience of Demon could say whether
this is
a sensible idea
