At login, I get a [pppd] Local IP Address x.x.x.x 
and then a [pppd] Remote IP Address x.x.x.x which
are reported on the console. I'm not too familiar
with how PPP works, but one is definitely myself,
and the other is my provider. I am sure these IPs
are logged in /var or somewhere and could be then
copied into GlueSTiK's ICB if/when requested.
