This an another, similar script posted did not quite work. Ifup says ppp0 is 
an unconfigured device if not connected or unknown device ppp0=ppp0 if 
connected. I got it to work using a direct pptp or pon here, slept a bit and 
then called the ipcheck to update the dynamic dns provider.

Seems to work ..... see how it goes!
