While this works in *most* situations, it does not work in *all*
situations. Consider my case, where I have a ppp connection to
a remote subnet and sometimes will have a ppp connection to a
remote user. In these cases the diald controlled link may not
be ppp0. It all depends on which ppp interface is brought up
first - diald or one of the others.
