Thanks everyone for the cool answers on how to
get the dynamic IP my ISP assigns me mailed to
myself. I can at least mail the IP manually. I really
would like to have this done automatically when
I'm away from the machine. Several suggestions
came in on using ppp.linkup, which seems the
obvious choice. So I followed one guys advice and
added this line to my /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup file under the
MYADDR: section

!bg ifconfig tun0 | mail -s "IP Address" my_mail@my_domain.com

This did not work. Can anyone tell me why or suggest
something that will?
