DSL accounts include a shell-only basic account.

Enough modems

Our policy is to have no more than 10 minutes of busy signals each day.

Fast modems

We use digital modems connected though digital phone lines. There is no analog component on our end and thus no noise. The modems currently support 33.6kpbs using V.34+ and 56kbps using V.90 and Lucent__Q__s K56Flex technology.

PPP

Choose a fixed IP address
You get the same IP address every time you log in. This means that if your connection is disrupted, when you reconnect any programs you had running will pick up where they left off.
Along with your static IP address, you are assigned a real hostname. It will look like YOUR-LOGIN.dial.idiom.com.
You can run Internet servers on your computer.
Choose a dynamic IP address
With the right account type, you can log in multiple times simultaneously.
Blocks of IP addresses available
If you need a block of IP addresses for your network, we will provide them at no additional charge.

Reliable Service

Virtual Hosting

Incoming email
Email sent to your domain will come to your account. If you need multiple mailboxes in your domain, then an extra mailbox is in order. If you want some of the mail that comes to your domain to be sent to another site, it can be done for free using our web interface. Set up as many virtual email addresses as you want.
Outgoing email
When you send mail through Idiom, the return address is automatically rewritten so that it appears that the mail came from YOUR-DOMAIN.
WWW server
Your new web address is simply your domain name. www.YOUR-DOMAIN also works.
FTP server
Your new ftp address is simply ftp.YOUR-DOMAIN
NIC registration
The Network Information Center (NIC) is now charging $70 to register a domain. There is a further charge of $35 per year to keep it beyond the second year.

Is the domain you want available? Please check using the whois command on the shell or with our domain checker at http://cgi.idiom.com/testdomain.
