I can't see how it can do otherwise. The last thing that ipcp_up() does
after successfully configuring the interface is call ipcp_script(). It just
passes pppd's arguments to /etc/ppp/ip-up and runs it.

The tty-device is passed to ip-up exactly as received by pppd (this is a
bug, IMHO). Use basename to scrape off the '/dev/'.

PPP is a peer to peer protocol. Once the serial link is up there is no
incoming or outgoing.
