I don't *believe* I left that procmail filter on.  No wonder I wasn't
getting anything from the MiNT list... :-}

As soon as I get around to rewriting the thing as a device driver, maybe...

As soon as I figure out the bit below.

See, that's the sticking point.  AIUI, pppd can actually change the local
machine's notion of what its IP address is; and I'm trying to figure out
how to get that information out of it.  Doing a resolve on gethostname()
will probably just return what's defined in /etc/hosts, which does me no
good in the case of dynamic IP address assignment.  Or for that matter, I
may need to be using the IP address of the machine at the other end of the
PPP connection, and I can't figure out how to get *that* either.
