[CLUG] PPP statistics

[Robert Heffernan]

another one for you scripting people, if you would

the command pppstats gives various statistics about what pppd has been doing
(as I'm sure you all know, and as the nae would suggest)
I want to be able to have a script that would tell me only two of these
stastics - the number of bytes sent and the number recieved.
How would I do this?

also - having been used to connecting to the net via windows I'm used to
knowing the connection speed.  Is there any way of finding out what speed
connection to the net pppd has established?


Also - how does one find out your ip address on the net?

thanks guys
