I would suggest you sign up for a free dynamic domain name account. I also
have another script which dials-on-demand my ISP once I get disconnected.
So, I don't have to worry to redial again. The script is actually process by
the cron. Yung script ko naman sa baba ay tinatawag ng /etc/ppp/ip-up. What
the script does is supply your username and your account to the variables
user_id and password. Pero yun can write it directly. Next is, it get's your
current ip address and puts it to variable ip_addr. The date is
self-explanatory. The last is the lynx which post the variables to my
http://yi.org account. BTW, this script would be applicable to
http://www.yi.org. If you plan to subscribe to another free dynamic domain,
all you have to do is replace the lynx line. Good luck!
