I guess you could construct a shell script that contains a line with 
/usr/bin/curl -u user:pass http:embedded-modem-url > /tmp/modemstatus
Then use some editing in the script to find the ip address in the
/tmp/modemstatus file, and email yourself with the ip address once it is
found from within the script by doing a manual send. Finally once the mail
has been sent then remove the temporary file?

Then run the script from a cron job periodically. I used to use a scheme
like this some years ago for a friend with a dynamic ip address...
