   I don't havbe a static IP. I have a dynamic.  So I figured I'd just   
   use a DynDNS service. ...   
      
      
      
   What HOST file hack  I'd love to  see that.    
      
   you can email me direct    loteknate@yahoo.com   
      
      
   I 'd love any tips though.     
      
   Heheh   I miss my 1 node BBS on a Dialup system  in the 90s  when I   
   was a teen...   
      
   oh..  whoops.  Dating myself.
