Ill have to assume your hosting your webserver from home, which wont be your
home while moving...
You have an EFN account, you can keep your EFN account after you move to
portland (although you will want to upgrade to willamette wide access) this
will give you a local dialup number in portland, and a place to host your
website (http://www.efn.org/~jamesf)

The above paragraph is rather confusing for me... but Ill try... To do DNS,
you will need aproval of your upstream DNS provider... which will be
different at both locations.. and probably more trouble than its worth.
There are dynamic dns solution providers that can map dns names (such as
MyGreatBox.Whatever) to IP addresses (such as 23.237.28.129), they allow you
to change your IP, but keep the name the same) without having to deal with
DNS admins

: new one?
? uhh...? yep confused.

: Man, that was pretty confusing.
