Are you sure? That should be /etc/ppp/ip-up and ip-down. Create an
ip-up that looks like:
#!/bin/bash
echo $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 > /tmp/args
Then do a chmod 755 on it, then bring up ppp. See what /tmp/args has
to say...

Well, ppp-2.2.0f is what we ship and works fine. The IPX stuff is
for routing IPX over PPP, and I've never done it, now do I know if
it works. Anyone out there try it?
