 ML> Suggestions?

How are you "dialing" the no-ip.com address?  Via a front end package such as 
Binkley?  If so, the hyphen is being interpreted by that software and 
translated prior to SIO getting the string....  :(  At least that is one of my 
guesses.....  If Binkley, I believe there is a way to escape the "special" 
characters, but you have to do some string substitutions either in your binkley 
control file or in your nodelist processor.

Take care.....
