SL/IP or PPP feed for their site (if they wished to set one up...). YES!
Do it! I personally am persuing the idea of setting up a node on the
InterNet, but find that currently my only real option is via APANA,but
(while they have the right idea about making INet access public) I find
some of their restrictions are a little ... um restrictive; particularly
the requirement for one's machine to be left on 24 hours a day. Anyone
else interested in this?
