In case BigNet can't get there head on straight I have some ISP questions -

1. Does anyone use Ameritech DSL with Linux?  According to the page Linux is
"not supported",  but we all know they doesn't neccesarily mean it doesn't work.

2. Does anyone know of any port forwarding services?  In the short term I solved
my problem by creating an ip alias on the internet interface of a non-bignet
computer,  forwarding port 25 on that interface to port 8000 on my firewall, and
having my firewall point that to port 25 on my internal mail server.  Adjust my
DNS entry so the MX points to the IP of the ip alias-ed interface, and mail
flows (as the DNS change propogates).  But I can't camp on this remote box
forever, and I was wondering if there is anyone that I could pay to do this.
