I just put scripts in ip-up.d and ip-down.d that sent a one line message
to a tty indicating the status
p0.pid.

Subject: Bring up ppp link on shell
How do I bring a dialup PPP link with a shell? It's
u can use wvdial or pon,
both make the use of pppd.
check wvdial man pages, and the ppp howto. You must configure several
things before u can use dial up connections.

How do I bring a dialup PPP link with a shell? It's `ifup ' or
something? Is that all? How do I tell when the link is down if I have a shell
script for example downloading the latest Debian dist? Can I poll/interrogate
something which will tell me?
