Easiest place to put the call would be in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local. It gets
called after the connection has been made.
Just put the isinglass script somewhere, and use this for the script:
#! /bin/bash
. <path/to/script>
You'll have to set execute permissions on /etc/ppp/ip-up.local (probably
a+x would work, and matches the permissions on the ip-up/ip-down files).
Bring up the connection again and you should be all set!
