Ok, this might sound a bit strange, but there are alot of us who dial in
to dynamic ip addresses.

However, we are but one machine, just roaming around on a list of ip addresses.

Is it possible to somehow 'inform' a remote machine that we are now on a new
ip address, so that any connections that were open at the time we got
disconnected would resume?

I have a feeling this is not possible at present....and anything along these
lines would obviously have to have a secure way of identifying specific
machines.

I know I can use cslip over a telnet connection to a remote machine, and thus
do what I want, but that isn't what I'm looking for.

I know I can use ip tunneling, but that requires an ip address on each remote
network I wish to 'connect' with.

I know this sounds strange, but is it possible to 'hack' even something
together that would do this?

Just curious in a yes or a no and why...
