Accually starvey... I have freinds who just try and keep their
connection
up as much as possible.  I host their DNS on my home system (dedicated
ISDN)
and just change their IP about once a month.  An easy way around this
(if you dont have a freind with a namserver) is to find someone who
offers
Dynamic DNS.  There are a couple free ones out there.. but are not
really
reliable, since, hey.. they are free.  At Illuminati, we are offering
3 cable modem packages which gives you access to have DDNS.  With a
little
CNAME, you own domain will point to the DDNS assigned to you.  check
out www.io.com/products.

Time warner doesnt like UNIX servers... but Time Warner's filters are
not
active.. why WOULDNT you run a server?

(sorry to throw a shameless plug into this, but I'm not aware of any
other
Austin/Houston providers offering this)
