adsl-status | grep inet | awk '{print $2}' | awk -F\: '{print $2}'
This grep's for the inet addr line. Then awk takes word #2. Then tells
awk that : is the seperator instead of space, and take word #2 again.
This _should_ work, it worked with ifconfig ppp0 here, which is what that
adsl-status seems to be calling.
