OK, then this would be the HTML you would want to use.  Just put it into the
form where you want it:

<p>Date: <!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" --></p>
<p>IP Address: <!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR" --></p>
<p>Port: <!--#echo var="SERVER_PORT" --></p>

(I've also included a data and server port although you probably don't need
those.  The form will have to be parsed for SSI (.shtml extension).
