Actually there is an easy way, I do it here at my work station which is on a boat, and uses many different modes of connectivity. All of which are floating IPs. Get a domain name at dyndns. ANYTHING.servebbs.com/net/org. (it's free) You can also DNS any domain you own for about $29.00/Year, and simply MX your mail to your dynamic domain machine on a variety of alternative ports. Install ddclient on your machine; it will keep your IP updated at dyndns. Install an mta, like sendmail, and smart-host it to your ISP; or smart-host it to dyndns if your ISP can't/won't do it. I have been doing this for about 2 years now, and have had no problems at all. Bob -- _ /o\ // \\ The ASCII \\ // Ribbon Campaign \V/ Against HTML /A\ eMail! // \\
