Any > work-arounds? Whenever you are connected you have a temporarily fixed IP number. The problem then becomes two fold, keeping the connection and finding out what the number is. You should be able to keep it as long as you have some kind of activity. Finding out what the number is may be more difficult. You could for instance email it to yourself every few minutes or you could simply call and ask someone to look and see what it is. Internet Connect shows the number and Fruit Menu shows it in the Apple Menu using OS X. --- Why is it that the government can determine that a spam fax is worth a $500 penalty payble by the sender to the recipient but takes no stand on email spam?
