If you need to setup routing tables whenever the ppp link comes up,
look at the ppp.linkup file.

If, for instance, you want to add the other end of the PPP link as the
default route each time the link comes up, and you're using ppp -auto
remotesite, add the following entry to ppp.linkup:

remotesite:
 delete 0 0
 add 0 0 HISADDR

This will delete the existing default route and add the far end of the
PPP link as the new default route each time the link comes up.
