First, Thank you to everyone that sent email about my question.
The solution turned out to be very simple. When pon causes a connection to be made to an ISP, the script /etc/ppp/ip-up is run. In Debian (2.2r3) this script accepts several parameters from pppd. They are set and exported as: PPP_IFACE PPP_TTY PPP_SPEED PPP_LOCAL PPP_REMOTE PPP_IPPARM ip-up then runs all scripts it finds in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d In that directory I created a link ln -s /etc/ipchains/rules-T22 firewall-up and in my firewall rules set I set IPADR_INTERNET="$PPP_LOCAL" and I am done. (I have a regular set of ipchain rule files, so this is the only link I need to my previous work). I made the corresponding links, etc for ip-down.d Very slick! Thanks again.
