In basic DSL accounts, No, so far as I'm aware. I guess the static addresses have become a scarce commodity.
However, if one is able and willing to pay about 5x as much, Pac Bell will still gladly sell you a Business
Level DSL account, with 5 fixed IPs. I think the Up & Down speeds are also faster. This is probably much the
same story with other providers. The main thing is, they don't want you "multiplexing" your base level account
into a full-blown home network, esp. one that is engaged in commercial activities.

Several inkjet printer models these days, like my Lexmark Optra 40, do not even give you that option. (How much
$ can the mfr. save by eliminating the Off/On switch . . . ?) The only way to turn them off is to unplug the
power.
