Yes, but they also take up new IP Addresses.  That's not bad if they only need to be accessed on the LAN, but what about zones that need to be accessed with static IP Addresses on the web?  We have to pay the phone company extra for those.  

Or am I missing something here?  (And that's entirely possible!)

Maybe it's time I call Qwest to see what our options and costs are going to be in upgrading the phone and internet service where the big server that's driving this whole project is going to be.  For our monastery, we're capped at 5.  We can't get any more than that.  And they're soaking us for $25 bucks a month for those as it is!  

All this would be so much easier if we had $230,000 to run a T1 line from our monastery to town...  [];-)
