I can't find this on their site (BT Openworld) but
I'll trawl usenet, what other ports am I going to
need? Do I need to worry about DNS servers and other
stuff I know nothing about, or is it all more
straightforward than I think?

Excellent, thats what I hoped :)

BTO seem quite insistent on being their dynamic as
static IPs are value added services.

Hahaha, sorry I'm already signed up tho I may be
moving house soon and I will be looking at a new
broadband provider.
