- INTRODUCTION
- ============

- The DynIP Client allows you to register a personalized

- uses are nearly unlimited! You can run a web, FTP, chat, IRC
- or mail server etc.

- minutes after running the DynIP Client program. Your Internet
- name can then be used by anyone, in any existing
- Internet application, to refer to your computer. You no
- longer need to post your dynamic IP address to a web page, or
- email your friends your current IP address. You can even
- submit your Internet name to search engines to bring
- customers to your site.
-
- The DynIP Client can be used with any kind of Internet
- connection, including dial-up, cable-modem, ISDN, wireless
- modem or a LAN connection.
-
- The DynIP Client also includes features to keep your
- connection alive, synchronize your computer to a time
- server on the Internet and display online time and ISP
- connection charges on a convenient desktop display.
-
- You can evaluate the service FREE for 30 days.
