The ip-up script was one of the first things I tried.  There is a
directory under /etc/ppp called ip-up.d, and everything in this
directory is ran via

run-parts /etc/ppp/ip-up.d

with that being the last functional line of the script.  I had placed my
script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/.  I figured it out; run-parts was not, for
some reason, running all the stuff in the ip-up.d/ directory.  So I
commented that one out, and added

for i in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/*;do $i;done

and now it works fine.  :)

Corel 1.1.  And it's documentation was lousy.  :)   (Thanks, though.)
