Rajesh, PPP, as its name implies, is peer to peer. There is no distinction
made which end is the server or which end is the client. pppd does not know
whether you are connecting to the net, or a remote user is logging in.

What you can do is to read man pppd(8). The ip-up script is passed a lot
of options. If you are using 192.168.111.1 as your IP address for the dial-in
interfaces, you can try something like this in your ip-up.local:

if [ $4 = "192.168.111.1" ]; then
   # Dial in user specific commands go here
else
   # Internet connection specific commands go here
endif

(Please check if it is indeed $4 in your pppd man page).
