[Dxspider-support] Add IP address tp PC16

[Bela Markus]

Dirk:

PC92 extension with IP would be a good carrier for IP.

Ian:

You can extend for example sh/stat with IP and resolved domain, country 
info to assist evaluate it.

But the main goal to make this info available for a fraud detaction, 
traffic analyzer, etc. programs (call it tap, sensor, ...) and not 
necessarily for a node only.

For example I'm using a gateway daemon written in Python which accept a 
single incoming node conenction only, answers pings to kepp up 
connections and make severala ctions, like creates alerting emails in 
case of 6m/4m/2m Es conditions for HA users, converts www.tx3a.com RSS 
feed items to outgoing announcements, stores spots, anns and other info 
in SQL adatabse, etc.

Getting the IP it can also analyse traffic realtime and generate emails 
for sysops, blacklist files, etc.

What is missing today is the IP. BTW please consider few old fashioned 
users using radio link :)
