Well, I was doing something along those lines until I moved to using
l2tpd, which works far better IMO. I have a script in my init.d,
called cables - it runs after l2tpd and before all other internet
requiring scripts. Took some adjustments of the runlevels :-) I've
attached the script, if anyone wants to take a look. By the way, I
also placed scripts in the ip-up.d and ip-down.d to replace the
resolv.conf files when connected, so you have the correct DNS servers
in place. That is, replace the ones you got from DHCP with the ones
from your ISP.
