There is a client server system called hotline, www.BigRedH.com , that I think enables you to put up
servers on dynamic IP. It includes chat, file server and a sort of bbs. It has very high
porn/warez/mp3 
frequencies, but could be worth looking at for solutions in GUI and networking. Just a thought.

This is an area where those with smaller pipes and/or no static ip address can help in finding solutions. More efficient bandwidth utilization and alternate protocols can make this technology more accessible.
