Hello Gustav,
The only thing I've seen checks it like this...
***************Begin*****************************
NO=""
is_ppp_active=`ifconfig ppp0 | grep "UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING"`
if [ "$is_ppp_active" != "$NO" ] ; then
**************End********************************
It may not be that elegant though, but it should work.
