Sign her up for a dynamic dns hostname <www.dyndns.org> are very good,
and the Linux clients work very well, run as a daemon etc.  The
service is free, and you refer to her box via myname.dyndns.org and
then if they have the correct a record assigned to that hostname then
you can connect.  The clients can be configured (i.e, how often to
update dyndns records etc).
