I really need your suggestions! find another linking ISP, and in your case, i would call your ISP a IUP, internet UNservice providor. any sensible and worth-to-do-business-with ISP would assign more IP space if the customer can clearly show there _IS_ a need for those addresses. that is the way internet should work, and i'm sure from a request atleast i would be more than happy questioning the motives of your ISP if they really refuse to hand out the address space. i might be a little biased, but it seems to me there's too many ISPs out there who only want to make the profit... > --xiyuan mickey
