It would probably slow down the VAX server and some people don't like that
;)
 
The IP numbers are static enough you could probably get away with putting
a web server on your machine and making your VAX page refer to it.  Just
don't leave it off for over 24 hours ;)  (or, write a little script that
if it does change, it takes the IP numbers from your current login and
updates all your pages to reflect your new IP address).
 
Not the perfect solution, but if you want it today :)
