I have had no luck getting 'asp' to work. I connect to my provider using ppp, figure out my new dynamic ip number from grepping /var/log/debug, create a ~/.asp/debian (my hostname is 'debian') file with legal metaip numbers that include the ip number returned by my grep. But when I run 'asp debian', nothing happens. It just sits for awhile and then exits. I suppose it's querying the net because I can see my modem lights blinking, but it fails to confirm my ip number. Even if there is another computer with hostname 'debian' out there, asp should at least return their address.
