Thanks for the info. Its a little more than I'm looking for, but I'll keep it for future reference. I was just looking for a way to find out what my IP address is when the system connects, this way I can connect to my machine when I'm not home. If I can get to my mail thats sitting at my provider, I'll know my IP address to telnet in.

Have attached the script I run from cron which starts pppd, uploads and downloads email, and updates my rc5des buffer (all three at once, not one after the other) then disconnects. Script is a bit more verbose than it needs to be. << File: cronjobs.txt >> << File: ATT00008.txt >> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
