One question.  You're obviously carrying along the `ip-up' argument list, 
i.e.,
    Arg  Name               Example
    $1   Interface name     ppp0
    $2   The tty            ttyS1
    $3   The link speed     38400
    $4   Local IP number    12.34.56.78
    $5   Peer  IP number    12.34.56.99 

These variables are clearly being propogated to your (custom rolled) 
ip-up.d/* scripts.  How are you propogating these values?  Environment 
variables?  We'd have to std'ize the variable names too, if so.
