[Dxspider-support] Add IP address tp PC16

[Dirk Koopman G1TLH]

None of the suggestions actually help in realtime. The existing protocol 
paradigm simply isn't up to that sort of job. The clients don't have any 
meaningful authentication (that is truly worthy of such a name). The 
best that we can do is to log info like IP addresses and then use this 
to a) deter and b) ignore data from unlikely combinations.

I do worry about things like radio links though...
