See links at bottom for areas marked with (*) etc..

You could pretty easy write something like this to connect to a php
webpage that just logs the ip if that is what you are looking for(?)..

If you need to configure a router automatically, look at the program
called "expect"(*).. It ships with a handy utility called
"autoexpect"(**) that you can run to capture a session, though the file
usually needs a little bit of editing.

If you have good trust relationships (and hosts.deny/host.allow) set up.
You can look at doing no-username/pass ssh. You can do that by creating
a id_dsa.pub (poke around in ssh-keygen) and then place them in a file
on the host your want to connect to called ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 (the
key starts with ssh-dss and the user is the same as you will connect
with) authorized_keys will also need the contents of your identity.pub.
This just make shell scripts act like they are working on your local
machine it also makes doing sweeping changes across a trust-network a
breeze. (*ssh*)
