When I was on them, they blocked SMTP inbound and maybe (poor memory) 80 |
| 12 |
inbound. It's possible to run these services on other ports, but no |
| 13 |
guarantees that they won't use Layer 5-7 filtering to limit them. |

If you want to hast a reliable server, you have to get commercial-grade |
| 16 |
internet access and/or SDSL. FWIW, SDSL seems to provide the upstream |
| 17 |
requirements of a low-end service, and it not that expensive, *if* you can |
| 18 |
produce some income/donations for the service. |
