Chris,
   I like you idea a little better.  Could you share your TCL code for the
grep ppp0 and alarm.

Thanks for the help and ideas.

		What I do in one of my TclTK scripts is to run 'ifconfig
ppp0' every
		5 seconds and grep for until the keyword 'UP' in the output.

		Secondly, I create an alarm to end this process if 2 minutes
if the
		ppp0 link never come up...
