IP=$( /sbin/ifconfig ppp0 | grep inet | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d' ' -f1 )

Thanks John and Adrian

I have tried out your examples and discovered that netstat was
giving the P-t-P address not the inet address.
Perl is on my long list of "Things to look into"
Question how does perl allow me to run ifconfig as a user?

TIA
Col.
