Hi Hugo,
this will give you the IP :)
ifconfig ppp0 | grep "inet addr:" | awk '{ print $2}' | tail -c14
probably not the best solution, (the last part awk .... assumes your
IP has 14 chars) but this came to mind first .. do some experimenting :)

Hi,
Ifconfig says:
...
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:200.57.201.43 P-t-P:200.57.219.18
Mask:255.255.255.255
...
I want that inet addr (200.57.201.43) in a program and I prefer not to
run the ifconfig command from it and grep it.
Does anyone know where else in the system that information resides?
I installed the net-tools source and looking at ifconfig.c it's not
immediately obvious.
