When E.164 addressing scheme is used, only the first 9 bytes of the
address is meaningful for a public switch. Rest are allocated by various
authorities which in your case won't be meaningful I guess. So you can
put your IP address in 10-13 bytes of the address to form the final
E.164 address(you can even use 14-19 bytes too, but they are generally
used to keep MAC address). Thus your machines get to know the IP
address.
If you don't want this crude way;) you can always use IP over ATM for IP
communication.
