The system is used both for the SunHELP stuff, and my personal stuff.
Doing official paperwork for a non-profit (although I've always run it as
"not for profit") is too much overhead.

I'm leaning towards getting a Business-class line from Comcast with a
static IP (JUST for the SunHELP stuff) and hosting it here at home on a
quieter machine, sometime after the first of the year.

I could then possibly sell the T1000 to pay for at least a year's worth of
the home connection.
