You could somehow get a windows box at your house (laptop, or install it
on a parition on your box) and then have an IP assigned to it. Then setup
static-IP in Linux, because at least in Columbia the IPs are static for
all pratical purposes. I've never gotten dynamic IPs to work in Linux, but
static works find.
I think my IP address changed once in the last year and so that I've had a
cable modem, and it was only couple of months after I got my cable modem.
