There is a networking FAQ on ftp.ph.kcl.ac.uk somewhere but it only
covers SL/IP dialup. If your ISP uses PPP for connections I have a set of

If you have a static IP address you can just use the name that resolves
too. In the case of a dynamic IP address the machine hostname is not very
important.
