Thanks! :)  I'm still having some trouble though:  I've found the
scripts you're referring, but I can't get a command to work.  I tried
making a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/, and within it I've tried some
different commands like:

ifconfig ppp0
echo CONNECTED
exec ifconfig ppp0               <-\
ifconfig ppp0 > /dev/stdout      <--- tried these out of desparation

Unfortunately, nothing actually causes any output to display in my term.
:/ Yes, I did chmod +x the script, and I also tried putting the commands
into the already-existing 0dns-up script. What am I missing?
