    I haven't seen any mention of this in a while, and as I checked out the FAQ's again last night (they are updating them regularly at the moment) it is possible to get a Static IP address from UTVip, it will cost an extra €5 per month.

    You can host a (personal, doubt they'd allow corporate) website with it.

    That's the main use I would imagine, but also handy for setting up an ftp, you could log in from college or whatever without having to check the IP each day.

    Yea you can use those programs^, they literally control your PC (it shows your exact desktop as if you were sitting at your own PC), or you could put... say... a college assignment on an ftp server so you could log in and copy it onto the college computer.

    I did it when I was on eircoms DSL trial last year, was extremely handy as I was always forgetting to bring important stuff with me :]
