  What is the _some_ in "some kind of tunneling mechanism? And how do you
  propose to take care of the re-configuration on the customer's end for
  the tunnel? Dynamic DNS with TTL close to 0? Whater it is, it should be
  available for all of the "popular" operating systems, btw.

=back to the ASP network so they have consistant addressing, even if their
=providor uses dynamic addressing.

  Which requires some sort of (non-trivial?) static routing entries on the
  customer's end nodes and/or some sort of routing support by the "basic"
  transport provider.

  If there is a reasonable solution for that, I'd really like to deploy
  that for my ADSL link (which only offers dynamic addresses ;-).
  Both for becoming a subnet in my universities LAN as well as for IPv6!
