Ahhh, having looked at the form I now understand. Thanks Chris. I 
may have to get back to you on that one then as my limited 
network knowledge doesn't extend to the ins and outs of NAT and 
SSL for this RIPE form !!!

Can you request additional IPs at a later date, e.g. after filling in 
the RIPE form appropriately once ADSL is enabled in the first 
place?

I really want at least one static IP address so that no matter what 
else I setup, I know that my number is me.

This was a great advantage when I used to try out NetMeeting with 
my father when I was on Demon and had a static IP address. He 
didn't have to concern himself with address servers, he knew my 
number and knew where to pump it in.
