It was thus said that the Great Bruce Lane once stated:

  Um, isn't the gateway the same as the router interface? I have a similar
set up (subblock of 8, one network, one broadcast, one for gateway/router,
leaving me five to play with).

  Try Velotel (http://www.velotel.com/). $65/month gets you DSL (guarenteed
speed dependant upon distance from CO) and 5 static IP addresses, no
restrictions on what you run over your connection.
