<grins> This is a newbie question?
Well, I did that and my ISP phoned me to tell me "'Unlimited' doesn't mean
24/7. Get a digital connection at $510/month plus a one time $1200 internet
initiation fee and you have a static IP and a 56K digital connection."
I have a bash script at work that does almost what you ask. I will send it
privately tomorrow. It uses sed and lynx, mostly, and sets up a receiving IP
for MX records with a dyndns service, and also keps the modem up only 10
minutes out of each hour of non-office hours.
The basic detail, and a nice starting script is also available at
http://www.yi.org.
