An alternative, if the service provider supports it, is ATRN or ETRN.
That allows your mta to tell the provider's mta that it is online and
ready to collect mail.  Then the delivery is done via smtp, as it would
have been if you had a fixed address.  The advantage of this is that you
avoid fetchmail.
