Well, I'm in the same situation, I'm stuck with speakeasy iDSL (=144k isdn line). It's pricey ($90/month) but I've been on dialup for far too long. The TOS allows servers and the static ip comes standard. websites and mailing lists should be ok at this speed depending on your traffic volume. You may want to tweak the sites a bit, speakeasy gives 10M free hosting, I'd upload the images to their server that way your just sending ASCII through your 144k pipe rather than binary images that could eat it up quick. The iDSL is the only thing I've seen that can go past the 15000ft DSL limit other than satellite (decent upload/download speeds can get you a ~$600 install fee and a hefty monthly rate), and you can occasionally get a free install deal from them. My plan was to stay on for the year and check for better/faster/cheaper services then, so far nothing.
