Okay, this is what I do, although I'm on ADSL the pppd part is
similar enough.
I ran "adsl-stop; sleep 5; adsl-start", waited a minute, and
ran "adsl-stop; sleep 5; adsl-start" again, producing a 49 second
connection:
deltree:~$ cat /var/log/rp-pppoe
...
Feb 15 15:15:20 adsl ip dn= 62350 478157418 12891939
Feb 15 15:15:30 adsl ip up= ppp0 111.111.111.111 222.222.22.22
Feb 15 15:16:19 adsl ip dn= 49 2100 847
Feb 15 15:16:31 adsl ip up= ppp0 111.111.111.111 222.222.22.22
This log is written by
deltree:~$ cat /usr/local/etc/ppp/signal

function do_ip_down ()
{
echo "ip dn= $CONNECT_TIME $BYTES_RCVD $BYTES_SENT" >> $log
echo -e "\nConnection dropped!" >> /var/log/ip-up
killall ntpd

in turn called by:

#!/bin/bash
# /etc/ppp/ip-up

test -x /usr/local/etc/ppp/signal && /usr/local/etc/ppp/signal ip_up

#!/bin/bash
# /etc/ppp/ip-down
#
test -x /usr/local/etc/ppp/signal && /usr/local/etc/ppp/signal ip_down
#
Hope this helps you with the connection timing.

Sorry, I haven't been there -- I used to use my windows box to
drive dialup modem.
Cheers,
