Let us know what they say. I'd be interested in finding out, but I'm not
expecting much:

As Gavin says, a SixXS tunnel would probably be the best bet.
Upon registration you can apply for a tunnel, and if you keep the tunnel
alive for one week, you can apply for a /48 subnet.
You can either use aiccu as a dynamic client to update the HEAnet PoP of
your current address, or you can point the tunnel to a static IPv4 endpoint.
My UPC IP address hasn't changed in months, so is it essentially as good
as static. I think I've only had 2 IP addresses in over two years with
them. :)
