[ale] gateway external ip

[Robert Coggins]

Actually I have found a solution.  I wrote an ugly script to get my ip
address and email it to myself.  Right now I have it checking everyhour
using cron and emailing me the ip.  Today during lunch break I am going to
make it where it will not email unless the ip has changed from the last time
it changed.  If anyone is interested I will post it.  However, I stress this
is something really ugly.  I just through a bunch of stuff into a shell
script.  But hey!  It works!
