Curiosity and all. ;)

I actually guess I am, but I've had this line for about 2 years - long
before the Yahoo/SWB partnership.
I've had no problems running servers (mail/ssh/web/ftp) and a cursory
glance at their options page shows this, which is probably more to your
liking:
Deluxe - S Package
768Kbps-1.5Mbps Down
256Kbps Up
5 Static
$79.95/mo

I *want* to say it's automagically created when you get your block - I
could be wrong on that though. I haven't had to make a call to support
since long before yahoo came into the picture, so I'm not sure how clued
in their techs are now, but in the past (while they didn't officially
support *nix) I had no problems finding techs with clues.
