I rang BT sometime ago and was told categorically that you couldn't run a
web server over the USB service.
Dynamic IP is easy to overcome using DynDNS or DynSite (which I use).
However I was told there's some jiggery pokery going on at the routers in
the exchange or something which effetely means you cannot run a web server.
Someone on this list (was it you?) ran some experiments. We were able to
see his FTP server but as expected, not his web server.
