[Tfug] DynDNS howto

[Earl]

I am running on Qwest DSL.  There is a charge for the DSL hookup on the phone bill and a separate charge for the ISP.  I'm using Qwest as an ISP but can go to another one like MSN if I want.

Funny, I thought Qwest was the ISP. I guess they may have rights
to the phone line, and just direct the traffic to the ISP, who takes
care of things like dns, ip addresses, port blocking, etc. I think
the person on the list who works for simply bits might best be
able to clear this up. I'd still be interested who my isp is, if cox
is just the guy whose line I connect to. Maybe they run both
services

Again, maybe cox runs both services. I don't know if you were
following me and Predrag's discussion, but I wasn't able to log
in to my modem the way he did.

FWIW, my modem is a terayon tj715x, if you know how to log
into it and configure it.
