[Novalug] curl

[Mike Shade]

Jon,

I did this sort of thing the other way around.  I hit an page that tells me
the IP of my gateway.  http://ip.mshade.org/ in this case :)

Depending on the method used to log into the actiontec, you may need to
fudge some cookies (mmm).  Whereas your previous router probably plain old
HTTP authentication (a popup box your browser provides) the Actiontec
probably provides form fields.  Correct?
