My system is on a cable modem, yet I have my own domain name.  What I did
is buy a domain name from Internic, and use GraniteCanyon
( http://soa.granitecanyon.com ) as the nameserver.  Two caveats: you
cannot do a reverse mapping (addr -> name) this way, and GraniteCanyon
is sometimes flaky.  But it's free. :)

Faith is the quality that enables you to eat blackberry jam on a picnic
without looking to see whether the seeds move.

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.  
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
