You need a command to execute the scripts in ip-up.d . The standard
ip-up that comes with hamm looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
#
# $Id: ip-up,v 1.2 1998/02/10 21:25:34 phil Exp $
#
# This script is run by the pppd after the link is established.
# It uses run-parts to run scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d, so to add routes,
# set IP address, run the mailq etc. you should create script(s) there.
#
# Be aware that other packages may include /etc/ppp/ip-up.d scripts (named
# after that package), so choose local script names with that in mind.
#
# This script is called with the following arguments:
#    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
#    $6   Optional ``ipparam'' value    foo

# The  environment is cleared before executing this script
# so the path must be reset
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH
# These variables are for the use of the scripts run by run-parts
PPP_IFACE="$1"
PPP_TTY="$2"
PPP_SPEED="$3"
PPP_LOCAL="$4"
PPP_REMOTE="$5"
PPP_IPPARAM="$6"
export PPP_IFACE PPP_TTY PPP_SPEED PPP_LOCAL PPP_REMOTE PPP_IPPARAM


# as an additional convenience, $PPP_TTYNAME is set to the tty name,
# stripped of /dev/ (if present) for easier matching.
PPP_TTYNAME=`/usr/bin/basename "$2"`
export PPP_TTYNAME 

# Main Script starts here

run-parts /etc/ppp/ip-up.d

# last line


***

Note that the scripts in ip-up.d should also start with #!/bin/sh for
shellscripts.
