Try this as a ppp.linkup script:

#
# Stuff to run when the PPP link comes up
#
papchap:
    !bg /usr/sbin/sendmail -q
    !bg /usr/local/bin/fetchmail -f /usr/local/etc/fetchmail.cfg
#
# The End.
#

That's assuming a) You use the 'papchap' target ain your ppp
configuration, which is the default, and b) you've put together your
fetchmail config such that everything is contained within the given
file.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
