I use @home in Bellefonte, PA (10 miles east of State College), which is
still run by AT&T, but it varies even from the State College @home in
policies, people who handle accounts, etc. That said, ronelson.dynip.com
points at my box, which hosts a web server and ftp server that I mainly use
as a file waypoint for transfers at work. I haven't been shut down in just
over one and a half years of using the service.
