Why dont you try www.ml.org. They supply a dynamic IP DNS entry. something
along the lines of: <yourhost>.dyn.ml.org
And, it's free :) You can use a script in your ip-up.d directory, that
uses lynx, to update the IP address of your box every time you log on.
I use this service, simply so local friends can telnet in to use
more advanced route checking utilities :)
