It will automate the updating of your IP with several free DNS services. Register a nice name with one of these services, install ez-ipupdate, and then make sure that your FQDN is proper (/etc/hosts is the file to modify). /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus@therning.org http://magnus.therning.org/ In my opinion, shareware tends to combine the worst of commercial software (no sources) with the worst of free software (no finishing touches). I simply do not believe in the shareware market at all. -- Linus Torvalds
