I don't run RedHat, and my ipchains rules are hand-cobbled (and I like
them) so I can't offer any specific suggestions. However...

Indeed, both ip-up and ip-down are called with the following parameters:
#!/bin/sh
ifname=$1 # Interface being brought up (e.g. ppp0)
ttydev=$2 # TTY device being used (/dev/modem)
speed=$3 # Terminal speed (115200)
localip=$4 # IP address of my PPP interface
remoteip=$5 # IP address of the P-t-P link

It's in "man pppd". :)
