OOOOOH!
DynDNS looks like it would solve 3 or 4 of my problems.
I ordered some more parts and It looks like I am expanding my personal challenge to include POP3 mail and FTP. I just got an LC and an LCIII and I couldn't think of anything better to do with them
When I removed the extra plastic tabs from the case, I left the ones for mounting the mobo. I have been thinking about getting a big PC board and custom etching it with an IDC-50 socket, the DB'25 socket, a mini-DIN to mini-DIN (to keep the Farallon's cable internal) plus it would give me something to mount all the jacks to in the rear. Also, if I can manage to make it double sided (doubt I would be able to do that with press-n-peel) I could put most of the Ethernet wiring on the board too.
I am going to be setting up these comps on a nice end-table I garbage-picked, basically the lower shelf will have the three stacked LC's, with the Plus on top. I am going to see if I can hook up an old SCSI CD-RW to the LCIII to run backups for the whole system.
Wish me luck!
If i don't post for a while it's because spring break has ended and I am back working and in class. I will update my site: http://irish-mike.tripod.com with relevant details. Thanks for all the support and advice, I'm glad I stumbled in here one day!

Sorry it took so long for me to respond to that one, I had on from an external enclosure that works fine but the connector (Cent-50) was just too big for the rear panel, there wasn't any room for it and the 7 RJ-45 jacks that need to be back there too.
