Recenlty I said to Peter, with regards to shell commands in ppp.linkup:
% Yeah, it accepts PPP commands. I think one of these commands is !
% to run an interactive shell. You'd have to check this. What do you
% want to run? (Chances are you're doing it backwards.)

Your doing it backwards. What you really want to do is make user mode
PPP demand dialing work, and then run sendmail and fetchmail in a cron
job. This way, the PPP link will be automagically brought up each time
sendmail and fetchmail get started.
I've written about this several times in -questions, and it's all in the
mail archives. Go check out the archives, search for:

If that doesn't get you going, email me back. ;^)
