 You say cron job  - that implies *nix.
 
 Why not write it in shell, and just add a line saying 'mail'
 
 Getting the IP address is trickier: need to interrogate their NAT router.
 
 Thats probably going to be a telnet script or SNMP.
 
 I THINK ther are snmp tools for Linux..
 
 None of this has to do with PHP
