Dyndns.org is free, and I know people using it. I use tzo.com, which is not free, but gives me more choice in domain names. You then arrange to run a script after you connect to the net. It accesses their system and changes the IP address assigned to your domain name to the one the request came from. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
