OK, thanks for the suggestions. I'll take a look. I have had some
experience of dynodns which I assume does a similar thing.

I think that all "free" ISP's are the same nowadays. Some are OK for
3 hours uptime but the majority of them are 2 hours. Shame! I suppose
that at some point I may take the plunge and go for ADSL which may
make life a little easier.
