List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi list. As some of you may know last week-end I downed my Linux system for most of Saturday. On Friday evening I went to www.dhs.org to update the host record for the Linux system anomaly.2y.net and ran into problems, I received the message that three updates in 15 minutes would get my account or something like that. This is fine I understand the principal behind dhs having such a policy as it prevents abusive use of their limitted resources. However, in my case I had almost never done any updating as I have an almost static dynamic ip address if you know what I mean. So, after I brought my system back up I created myself an account with cjb.net's dynamic dns service and since I started using it a week ago I have been pleased. I am wondering what the experiences of others have been who have used these services and I am wondering if there is a consensus among list members if one service is better than another for example. I know that this message is not directly related to Speakup and or Linux so I'd encourage anyone who wishes to reply to write to me directly as opposed to cluttering up the list with this thread. Thanks folks and hope everyone enjoys what remains of the week-end. Ed Barnes ebarnes@enigma2.cjb.net or ebarnes1@warp.nfld.net
