Try http://www.ipmonster.com

It will keep track of you IP and email you any changes.

Of course if the UF VPN loses the connection, the UF SMTP server won't work,
and if you are under the UF VPN the Cox SMTP server won't work. Not sure how
you are going to get around that.

Ok, Chris, I swear when I tried to do this this morning it didn't work, and
I just got bounces.  Now I'm actually writing this message on my
girlfriend's computer, in a remote session on my work computer, in a remote
session on my home computer ;-).

Now the problem becomes how to keep track of my VPN IP number.  I usually
can maintain a single VPN session for about a week, but on Sunday it usually
dies due to maintenance.  Anybody have a good idea how to track that?  Maybe
some sort of batch or wsh script?  Something along the lines of dynamic dns
I suppose.
