oh, i never used it like that, it was just a log of all IP addresses
that i'd received from ppp, along with a timestamp.

admitedly, now i use smssend, to send my IP address to my cell phone.
quite cool, with Wake-On-Modem to turn the box on.  All i need now is
bi-directional sms'ing and the world is my oyster.
