If it does not already have a configuration for it, you can modify
one of the configurations to get the information from your
router/modem. What it is designed to do is get the "real" IP
address, and forward it to one of the dynamic DNS services. But all
you need is the get the IP address part, and the mail messages part.
Sorry, I was being stupid.
I am actually running ddclient to send my IP address to
dyndns.com .
I guess I could look at the code for this
and run it to post the IP address to me.
