A possible solution might be not to have fetchmail starts at boot time, but by
/etc/ppp/ip-up. This scripts runs after the link is up, it run the scripts in
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d and has the assigned IP transfered to them.
You can use update-rc.d in order not to have fetchmail started at boot time.
What is the monitor option?
