My impression is that all you need is to know what IP number you have
during a PPP session. Why don't you use Gnudip?
http://gnudip.cheapnet.net. You can register for a username (which later
becomes your hostname) using the web form. You need gnudip package for
your client machine. Usage:
gdipc -c
(then enter username, password, domain: dyn.cheapnet.net, gnudip server:
gnudip.cheapnet.net)
When your ppp link is up, enter "gdipc"; if successful, you can ping
"pancreas.dyn.cheapnet.net" for your current IP number (if your username
is "pancreas").
