Fast: Shooting range, rifle.

In my areas it's around twice to three times as expensive with far lower connection speeds AND they still don't always unblock the ports.

See here for an account of one business trying to get unblocked internet.

On a similar note, many home broadband providers have blocked port 80 for consumer broadband. Simple google searches for how Verizon and Comcast spell out how they approached the matter (blocking port 80 across the board, but not actually telling anyone about it). This seems to be the case for many US broadband providers, whether or not you've paid for business-class service (which many businesses find out the hard way while trying to save money) -- and let's not even talk about reliability, off-site redundancy, etc. For most people, buying hosting from a data center is slightly cheaper than buying a t1 for yourself.

The only innovations that could possibly support this kind of prediction are p2p nets, such as Freenet. Let me know how reliable you think that is.

Lotus will run fairly well under Wine, here's some instructions.

You'd think by now IBM would provide a native version, here's an article with various reasons - port is too hard, no market, Wine, etc, but one more reason is there are already decent Office-like products available on Linux, StarOffice/OpenOffice, KDE, etc.

domino is already on linux

I know people inside ibm running notes on linux, using Wine. For a discussion on the pros/cons of a linux Notes client see this article.

There is a short article on setting up Lotus Notes/Domino on Linux at DominoPower.com (http://www.dominopower. com/issues/issue199911/linux001.html). They also have one on setting up SAMBA... Kind of nice! And no, I don't work for them, just do Lotus Notes development and everthing else involving Lotus Notes for work...
