Using your local IP address of ppp0 probably isn't very reliable. It's possible
for the local ppp0 to be pingable while the rmeote peer isn't (Used to happen
quite a lot on BTO, hasn't happend for a while lately... In fact I've been quite
stable for about a month now since they lost their whole backbone).

Specify the ppp interface directly in ifconfig... Just incase someone has > 1 ppp
interface.
e.g.
REMOTE=`/sbin/ifconfig ppp0 | grep P-t-P | awk -F: '{print $3}' | awk '{print
$1}'`
(Sorry. I used awk in mine. cut is probably quicker by a few ms).
