The IP address should be in your pppd logs. This could be in
/var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.log or however you have syslog
configured. Not sure how you would scan for it.

Are you sure that you're even using ipchains? If you're using a newer
version of Linux, even though the docs for SynCE might mention
ipchains, you're probably using iptables by default, but:

man ipchains
