No always possible to get a fixed IP address from your provider - in
Ireland anyway.
I've found a novel work-a-round: I have a server on the Internet in a
data centre that maps a real static address to the dynamic IP address of
the computer connected via. the ISP. I've got a script that runs on the
client ISP connected machine (its running Linux an the script is in the
ppp-up.d directory so runs automatically everytime the pc reconnects and
gets a new dynamic IP) - this client script (perl) talks to the server
daemon (also perl) and then the data centre server re-maps the static IP
to the dynamic IP - it redirects (using socat - excellent software!) to
redirect the IAX2 port and the RTP ports between the IP addresses so
that the normally dynamic IP addressed asterisk server now always has a
real live static IP address.
This solution is working very well between two remote offices passing
calls between the central data server computer.
I wonder would this solution help many people? I now couldn't live
without it. If other people are interested I could have a little
business renting people static mapped IP addresses.

I have a standard BT home DSL, which means I cannot have a static IP

Ditch your ISP and go with one who will give you a static IP.
