This would be somewhat advanced, but I'm thinking that with a router capable of running OpenWRT (a Linux distribution for embedded hardware) that a Perl script run as a cron job could query a site like http://www.displaymyip.com/ , scrape the page, and email the IP address every few hours. In fact, that is what I do except the script runs on my workstation and instead of email uploads a small file to my webhost. Fortunately, my ISP's DHCP server has been assigning my router the same address for a while.
