I am not a gee whiz webmaster by any means, but after I've had some coffee 
I might try that, thanks.  Humm, should I not remove the leading slash 
though?  I do not have a mount point 'gene'.

With DynDns working, that fixes itself in a few hours should my address 
change.  But I've not yet set up a paid account with them.  It is on my 
bucket list though.

Cheers, gene
