I have static numbers on a 6000/768 DSL. Not sure that's enough but i'd be willing to host it if it would help. I'm a little strapped for time so if you could setup the OS that would help me. I'll be out 9/14-16 but otherwise available. If needed, i have an 8channel remote switch that i use for kicking the DSL modem that i could setup for poking this box, too. > I'm in Oakland, CA, and if you have offices in the Bay area I'd be > happy to drop a machine off for you to use for a bit.
