put the following command in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
ifconfig ppp0 | grep 'inet addr' | awk -F: '{ print $2 } ' | awk '{ print
$1 } ' | mail -s 'ip address' [EMAIL PROTECTED]
of course you will need to change the email address, and maybe the ppp
adapter (if you are not using ppp0).
a better way to do it though would be to use something like dyndns, which
when you dial in will point a "dynamic" hostname to your current ip
address.
try looking at dyndns.org. there's others around, but I can't remember
where...
