I just put scripts in ip-up.d and ip-down.d that sent a one line message to a tty indicating the status of the link. You only need to switch to that tty to see the status of the link. e.g. echo Local $PPP_LOCAL connected to remote $PPP_REMOTE > /dev/ttyX or echo Disconnecting PPP link on `date`. > /dev/ttyX -- William Burrow -- New Brunswick, Canada
