or it may be just easier to edit /etc/ppp/ip-up and add something like 

echo $4>/etc/ppp/current_ip

or whatever ... 


here is the arg #'s that you can use:

# 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
