> I'm sure someone must have a script that can test and mail if it changes. If you're using user-ppp, you can use the ppp.linkup script (see /usr/share/examples/ppp) to email you when the link comes up. Since the most common use of the linkup script is to update default routes (well, used to be, when ppp wouldn't do it automatically), I'm pretty sure you could use it to send you an email with updated IP information.
