In /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/ are scripts that run every
time you connect/disconnect.
In a script in the ip-up.d dir I put this command:
echo PPP CONNECTED | wall
Wall is a command that sends text to every terminal/console (along with
a beep).
A similar command in ip-down.d is helpful if you ever get dropped from
your ISP.
