I used to have my /etc/ppp/ip-up script post my dynamic IP to a secret
html file at my ISP. Then I could just check the page to find out where my
computer was. 

BTW, the ip-up script get's passed the IP address as one of its arguments
(like $1 or $4), but maybe its different now, i forget, thats when i used
to use slackware. i think i still have my old scripts around here
somewhere if your interested in an example.
