    Need a Smart Host and Dynamic DNS providor?

    Does anyone have a list of quality mail smart hosts for SBS 2008? I have a Dymanic IP and need to purchase a Dynamic DNS service anyway, but also need a mail smart host and perhaps an MX backup. I've read all the products available at DynDNS and they look good. Any alternatives? Thanks, Jeff

    Need a low profile G PCI adapter

    Does anyone know of a good low profile wireless G (or faster) PCI adapter. It must fit in a small form factor case like Dell and others sell. I don't want to mess around with cutting the bracket down on the Linksys card. Thanks
