[Dxspider-support] Add IP address tp PC16

[Bob Nielsen]

I was thinking the same thing.  A lot of ISPs either won't provide  
static IP address or charge extra (sometimes a lot) for them.  When I  
signed up with my current ISP I paid $10/month for a static address  
then later decided it wasn't worth the extra money since I could use  
a dynamic DNS service so I dropped it and went with the dynamic IP.   
As it turns out, they haven't changed my address in over two years so  
it would have been wasted money.
