How to get PPP to go down....?

I have two colgate machines, one connected to an ethernet and one connected
to a token ring. The two machines are linked by a PPP connection, and all
the routing is being handled by gated r3.6 Alpha 2, and it all seems to be
hunky dory.
 
My problem is that if the ppp link is broken the ppp interfaces do not show
as being down and so gated maintains these routes. I would like the ppp link
to show as down so that I can get linux to raise an alert and gated to alter
the routing tables accordingly.

Does anyone have any experience of this?
