I use a service from dyndns.org to solve the ISP DHCP problem. There are numerous scripts to update the ISP IP with dyndns. Check it out... It works well. You could set up something like Karthik.homeip.net so you can always get to your home machine.
Actually, yes my ISP is Cox. However, I have my imap-ssl set up on my work machine (which by the way is on a LSU subnet). I just check email via my work machine.
