Is there a preferred dynamic IP host you guys prefer? I have dynamic IP (like most). I plan to use one of those freebee services like no-ip.com.
Usually, they provide a program that you run each time you boot your PC. It forwards the IP address to no-ip, which then updates it's name server (which then spreads across the net). The program detects when your IP switches and re-updates no-ip.com. They usually update at fixed intervals as well, just in case.
This all lets you give out your telnet address as something like MyC64BBS.no-ip.com instead of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (which won't work for bookmarks after your ISP changes it on you!)

Is there a preferred dynamic IP host you guys prefer? I use dynu.com for my ftp server for years now and never had problems with it. Don't know if it works when using other ports then 80 or 21 but you can get the client (windows and linux version available) at www.dynu.com You'll end up with a url like JeffHall.dynu.com
