Sure, I would. My current ppp hacking(where I have removed ip-up,ip-down, and
the connect option from pppd) is all in bash. I read in a flat-textfile
database for the modem dialing, and store the file in a 2-dimensional(sort-of)
bash array.
My hacking also as a ppp-update.d, which functions like update-rc.d. I have
it hacked to support the runlevels in my new pppd.
