Thanks, Graham! The reason I asked is that I'm a little paranoid about losing my new friend, either through carelessness or malice, so I wanted to tell him to run a script whenever he connects to the net; it sends the IP address and mac address to a CGI script which records them for future reference. Thanks to your dbus-scripts package, it was a pretty simple affair. I'd post the source, but it's my first attempt at python, and it's pretty rough around the edges. Thanks again for the useful package.
