Someone who used to be on this list (Rob S) had a blueyonder connection and
they didn't change his IP very much at all.  He was able to have sshd
running on the firewall and connected to it from his work machine.  When the
IP address changed the firewall mailed the new IP to a hotmail account so he
knew where to SSH to, but I seem to remember the IP really didn't change
that frequently.

He did have a *really* bad time getting the connection running in the first
place though (dodgy modems/engineers etc), but the service was OK when it
eventually worked.  Added to this the modem they supplied allowed him to
connect the firewall to it via RJ45.

Will.
