My thought is that this should be possible if my IP address is known. Since my dynamic IP address changes on every dialup, would it not be possible for my FreeBSD machine to, following connection do some inquiry into what my IP address is, then have FreeBSD copy the IP address to my external WEB site, where I could have a link/script that takes the address and guides me into my home server?
