If you have an IP address that is dynamic (your ISP throws a different IP address at you each time you call in) you will need to capture it with a dial/redial script and do a ifconfig on the fly.....the script will have to do you log in and password entry as well....I have a working script that does some of this stuff...its pretty easy actually.... If you want it, just email me a request....
