Hey, Sam, you sent this to me, not to the list! Anyway, I don't
think that bitstream.net are doing dynamic dns assignments. At
least they don't mention this on their support pages. They say
they support PAP, CHAP, and simple dialup, and do tell their
users what DNS numbers to enter in their dialup setups.
But, for John Musielewicz:

It looks like this may be wrong, and bitstream.net have changed
something. I am looking at their support pages and they give the
following as DNS numbers:
Primary: 216.243.128.5
Secondary: 204.73.77.78
Seems like they are really futzing around, changing their DNS
servers without changing the information in the DNS database.
So, you have 4 numbers to try now, but perhaps a phone call to
technical support might be in order.
Good Luck
