You might want to check out m0n0wall - I've seen good things about their
dyndns client. Also, check everydns.net, they have a perl client that's
very lightweight, and requires some cron scripting to get to work.

I currently use everydns.net.

Oh, and I hosted my website off of GCI for years, never had an issue
with the upload cap, but watch out for the monthly limit. ;]
