Quoting the pppd man page
/etc/ppp/ip-up
A program or script which is executed when the link
is available for sending and receiving IP packets
(that is, IPCP has come up). It is executed with
the parameters
interface-name tty-device speed local-IP-address
remote-IP-address ipparam
So, inside that script, the variable $4 will contain the IP-address you isp
has alotted to you.
Is that what you wanted?
