The way I translate it is:

Convert to hex: 2704935062 -> 0xA13A0896
Convert each pair of hex digits to decimal: 0xA1 -> 161, 0x3A -> 58,
                                            0x08 -> 8, 0x96 -> 150
Add the dots: 161.58.8.150
And that should be the address.

Shouldn't be hard to wite a perl script or C program to do the translation.
