Hmm, I rather disagree on this. The scripts are specifically there to
be run on every ppp connect/disconnect.

What is a local network with serial cables? Looks exotic. Twisted
phonewire on serial ports?

What about modem users with static IP adresses? They will also be
treated as "local". If you want to control the action in ip-up.d
scripts, the script can check if the remote ip is one to act on.
