Hi Neil,
I haven't heard of an expect script before. Is this kind of a response file
(like you can use for automatic installations)? If I know what is is, I will
give a try. Because this seems to be the easiest way to retrieve the ip
address without using the internet itself. Thanks, Mister.
If using the internet, asking www.whatismyip.com is easier to use than using
for a SSH server, I have access to. (By the way, the link to this service
was given to me as an answer to my posting, too. Thanks, Ian!)
I will look for some information about expect scripts. If you can provide me
a link to some documentation, I would be very grateful.
Thanks again,
Johannes
