<Sorta OT> seeking new hosting for the SXS

[Ben Duncan]

IF Bill is willing, go for it.  I Do have my own T1 with static IP's
and can volunter as a SS backup site and can supply a Computer / UPS if someone
will admin it.

Though at night in the early evenings, It can slow down since That is when
I do my syncs with customer sites.
