Is a static address really required?  With Rogers, your host name is 
determined by your modem and firewall MAC addresses.  So, if all you 
need is a consistent address, you've got it.  If you want a shorter host 
name that the one you get from Rogers, just set up an alias on a DNS 
server that points to that name.  Also, on Rogers, IP addresses change 
so seldom, they're virtually static.
