Can lilo receive a call from a remote location? I know if it's not used for awhile, the connection goes down, thus the ip address becomes unreachable. I used dhs.org to make a hostname out of it, easier to type that in. I probably will keep the same ip, even if eventually I get dsl, but it probably won't be possible at such a time to get lots, for extra machines. Right now, if I dial in both machines, they're assigned the same ip, as that's associated with my username, and I only have one modem, (would I really want to deal with setting up phone systems to distinguish my computer call-in or everyone else's voice calls to be passed to the answering machine, probably not).
