This might help you write a script to do it.
This is just a short section of the script, of course
#!/bin/sh
# Get ppp link up
# Check to see if PPP Link is up
if [ -e /var/run/ppp0.pid ] ; then
# link is already up
let link=1
else
let link=0
fi
until [ -e /var/run/ppp0.pid ]
# link isn't up, so get it there
do
start_up # Run pon or ppp-on or whatever you use
sleep 5
done
case "$program_to_run" in
M) mail;;
N) news;;
W) web;;
esac
if [ $link -eq 0 ] ; then
ppp-off
fi
exit 0
HTH, YMMV, HAND
