I would prefer using the /etc/ppp/ip-[up|down].local scripts, which are
called when ppp0 comes up, and when it goes down.
* Set a cronjob to call wvdial (and set wvdial to have an idle timeout)
* In ip-up.local, have a script like this one from the Postfix FAQ -
#!/bin/sh
# call fetchmail
fetchmail >& fetchmail.log&
# # Start deliveries.
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q
# Allow deliveries to start.
sleep 10
# Loop until all messages have been tried at least once.
while mailq | grep '^[^ ]*\*' >/dev/null
do
sleep 10
done
