Changing providers

[Prof. Jerry Place]

   See http://www.myip.org/ as an example of DNS hosting with a dynamic
IP.  I've used this little trick for several months and it works quite
well but I'm not running a general web server.  It's just an easy way
to keep track of my home Linux system and move things back and forth
from my work system.  I use it for backup mostly.
