Hmm well.... personally I DO want my computer online all the time whether I am here or not but my ISP doesn't allow it on my account and I can't convince my girlfriend $70/month is worth it for a static IP and being allowed to stay connected > Would it be possible to configure it in such a way so when I call home say > two times in a row, pon would be executed automaticaly and ip-up ( I did > it already) would post the IP address of the home computer on a designated > page? Well...what type of modem you have? isn't there a package for voice communications like setting up a voicemail system? that could do it.. call... press "5" enter your "PIN" :) as for web page posting.... you can do better....check out ml.org The monolith has a dynamic DNS setup. Just use lynx as part of ip-up to dump your IP out to a URL where the DNS is updated with your new name. I am carpanet.dyn.ml.org when im online. Then poff uses lynx to disable it -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ E-mail "Bumper Stickers": "A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both!"
