[ale] ppp Chat script exec cmd?

[Robert L. Harris]

2 things:

  I'm currently using a pppd -f /path/to/chatscript type setup for my
dialup.  For some stupid reason this thing just goes dumb and stops
passing packets.  I noticed this when I upgraded from 2.2.7 to 2.2.13
kernel.  Anyone else seen anything like this?  I got the latest pppd
recently.

  Is there a way to make the chat script execute an external command
right before it hands off to pppd?
