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

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
