I've managed to set my machine up to do the following, all of which I find useful in the context of a machine that is dialed in only part of the time.
Anyway, my machine is now doing the following: - rewrites the From: header on outgoing mail by looking up the sender's username in a configuration file. - accepts incoming STMP mail sent to the DNS name of the current ppp IP address. - correctly re-directs www requests that come in over the ppp line (for example, if someone leaves off the trailing / on a directory spec., they'll now be redirected to the correct page, on the current IP address) Hmmm... it seems a lot less impressive now that I write it out, but I was pleased at the time. Anyway, I've made up a web page describing what I did to my machine to make it behave this way, and have put it at: http://www.math.jhu.edu/~martind/mybox.html Enjoy.
