Perhaps your ISP will assign you a static IP number along with a Domain name of
your choosing?  Then, you can have people access your site with "yourname.com"
and the connection will be stable. Also if you have a LAN with dial-in access to
your lan, you can set up your own intranet and assign your own names and 
numbers,
plus control access.
