ip-up is executed via PPP I'm pretty sure... also if your running RedHat
then check out the scripts in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*
as these are run to start the dialling.
Have you tried running `pppd` from the command line with all the parameters
you need to connect? I have modified a demanddial script to use the RedHat
scripts to dial up... here is a copy for you to try and see what's going
on...
This should work as it's a cut down of the crap that RedHat uses... I hate

Subject: [SLUG] PPP and ip-up
My PPP connection is working fine. However, when it runs, it executes ip-up
script twice. I am not able to figure out why it is running twice. The man
pages
for pppd did not help.
Any pointers on how to fix this minor issue appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
