Hallo,
The IP numbers of my dial-in ISPs Domain Name Server is dynamically
assigned during the connection process.
Is there anyway I can set the DNS IP number dynamically?
Many thanks in advance. Regards,
Jonathan

1. Handling dynamically assigned IP addresses?
I am attempting to run SLIP on a dial-up. I dial in from my Linux box
(using kermit--should I use something else?) and at the prompt on the remote
machine (at Penn State), I type "slip." The remote answers to the effect
that my IP address is 128.118.25.xxx. How do I then connect up and run
SLIP from Linux? Do I use a different comms package to make the connection?
Do i put kermit running in the background and fire up some other software?
Do I need to edit my host, rc.net, etc... files to handle the dynamic
address? (I could use the domain portion, but the xxx changes with
every dial-in.) I'm fairly new to Linux, and have read all of the FAQ's
that I can find, but I haven't come accross something on dynamic IP
addresses and initiating a SLIP connection yet.
Also, a related question (modem-related at least), where is the FAQ on
setting up a getty to auto-answer on a modem to allow others to dial
into my machine as terminals?
