Do a 'man pppd' and look at the options. Recent pppd's (like I was looking
at the stock 6.1 pppd last night) have an 'idle' option. Also a 'demand'
option which might mean that you could discard any complicated scripts in
favor of just running pppd which will wait for traffic to the outside
world, connect, and then idle out. At least that's what I'm going to try
tonight.
