All of these end-game problems, link falling over and pppd failing
to exit, pppd dying but the interface staying alive etc. are
probably better handled by not relying on pppd, ifconfig, route
etc. to be bug-free. Run something with cron that will check the
link. Have ip-up put something in /var/run that associates the IP
address you pinged with the interface i/d.
$ cat /var/run/ppp_10.1.7.2
ppp2
If the link has died, kill the interface. Assume nothing.
