Ok maybe I need to re-phrase the question.
My ISP now only offers me a dynamic IP address.
My understanding is that Johnny's bridge program is not tolerant of 
changing IP addresses. Is that still the case?

Correct.

So based on Sampsa's answer I can connect via a Multinet tunnel and 
there's at least one Hecnet member (Steve Davidson) who can 
keep that 
connected even if the IP address changes?

Correct.

Would that mean I need to move into another area or request 
an area to myself?

You need to move to Steve's area, or set one up of your own.

Or move to Sampsa's area.

Well Steve Davidson has built a system for updating IP 
addresses of MULTINET circuits - it seems to work pretty well.

Hi All,

After a rather suddenly enforced break over 2 years ago I'm in a 
position where I can try and get back onto HECNET.
I've renewed my VMS PAKs and have a couple of simh VMS 
7.3 instances up again.
Unfortunately when I dropped off back then I lost my 
static IP, so 
step one, I guess, is asking this: What are the current 
best options 
the group has found to deal with dynamic addresses?
Alas FLETCH (1.100), my VS4000/60 has suffered some kind of disk 
trauma during the intervening 2 house moves so it might 
be a while 
before I can connect a physical system.

Nice to see the return of the mapping project too - rather more 
elegant than my own short-lived efforts.
Cheers,
Pete
