I'm not sure anyone is going to 'write' the script for you. How else
are you going to learn to do it? <g> But, I'd look at ifconfig ppp0 and
grab the IP from there. Another could be to find it in syslog where
pppd puts it's messages. Mine looks something like
tail /var/log/syslog

Jun 21 15:56:58 localhost pppd[8577]: remote IP address 63.3.12.1
<rest of output>
uummm.... maybe you can find it in /proc somewhere too but I haven't reached that level success just yet.. Maybe someone else can clue us in..
