[ale] PPP Problems

[Eric Z. Ayers]

Here is an ip-up script we use at work.  I'm not sure if
this is what you mean, but these scripts are executed when the link
comes up or goes down.  I put them in /etc/ppp and the deamon executes 
them automatically

All I use it for is to add a route to another network when the link
comes up, and remove the route when I take the link down.  


#!/bin/sh
# /etc/ppp/ip-up <interface-name> <tty-device> <speed> <local-ip> <remote-ip>
#

ifname=$1
ttydevice=$2
speed=$3
localip=$4
remoteip=$5

# If the link from computer generation comes up, add a route to
# computer generation
case $remoteip in
        10.10.4.5)
                route add -net 10.15.0.0 gw 10.10.4.5
        ;;
esac
