I wouldn't recommend running a server from an ADSL line *unless* it
doesn't matter how available it is. There are *no* quality of service
guarantees with ADSL - if the line drops every 5 minutes for 10 seconds,
there's no comeback.
Been there, done that. Gave up, and now pay for a virtual server.
$20/month to Linode or £15/month to Bytemark. Well worth it, in my
opinion, as long as you don't need anything too fancy.
