I think what Ira was referring to was the allocation of fixed addresses
from the _server's_ side. You, as a client, connects to a different modem
every time you call, so it still seems to be dynamic IP. If Netvision were
to give _you_ a fixed ip address, it would means a completely different
setup than that, hence the bloated price (I think they give you an address
in a completely different class c than the ones used by the modem pools).

Tell this to Netvision. When I asked them to give me a fixed IP,
they called it "MultiCall PPP" or something similar, and demanded
$250-$300 (I don't remember exactly) per month !!!
They have the biggest pool of modems in Israel (I never had a problem
to catch a line!) but it is still not a reason to give us fixed IPs
free of charge.
The only dying thing for now is guys like us that want a fixed IP.
