Yes, but this has nothing to do with the subject.

Another problem, but probably specific to Red Hat, so I don't know if
anyone can help.

RH has /etc/ppp/ip-up, which calls ip-up.local if it exists when ppp
is up. I have in ip-up.local:

REALDEVICE=$1
PTP=$5

if [ "$REALDEVICE" = "ppp0" ]
then echo "$PTP" > /var/run/ppp0-ptp
fi
if [ "$REALDEVICE" = "ppp1" ]
then echo "$PTP" > /var/run/ppp1-ptp
fi

ppp0 is used by pppoe (roaringpenguin), ppp1 - dialup. The problem is,
that /var/run/ppp0-ptp contains only new line when ppp0 is up, while
/var/run/ppp1-ptp correctly has IP address of a gateway (P-t-P).
It is on the same system (RH 6.2).

There is no such problem on another system (RH 7.2) - when adsl comes
up, gateway gets written to /var/run/ppp0-ptp.
