or it may be just easier to edit /etc/ppp/ip-up and add something like
echo $4>/etc/ppp/current_ip
or whatever ...

# This script is called with the following arguments:
# Arg Name Example
# $1 Interface name ppp0
# $2 The tty ttyS1
# $3 The link speed 38400
# $4 Local IP number 12.34.56.78
# $5 Peer IP number 12.34.56.99
