Your SLIP server prints your assigned IP number on the screen after you
log in, right?  Well, dip can snag it right off the line.  For instance,
my service prints the line:

    Your remote IP # is nn.nn.nn.nn, your local IP # is nn.nn.nn.nn

which my dip script grabs as follows:

  wait is 20
  if $errlvl != 0 goto error
  get $rmtip remote
  wait is 20
  if $errlvl != 0 goto error
  get $locip remote

I have .tcshrc symlinked to tcshrc.csh and .login symlinked to
login.csh.  I'm not sure which ones it's picking up, but it does get one
out of each pair.
