RE: SLIP dialup to internet

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think your ISP is dynamically assigning your AS/400's address each
time you dial into them.
Dial-up connections are basically good for you to get access out to the
Internet, not very useful for the Internet to access you if your IP
address changes each time you dial-in.
